Subodh Gupta: Everyday Divine
This Indian artist gives everyday items spiritual meaning.
Overview
One of India's most celebrated contemporary artists will be the subject of a new exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. Running from May until October at NGV International, Subodh Gupta: Everyday Divine will feature numerous works by the eponymous sculptor, painter, photographer and performer, whose works imbue everyday items with spiritual meaning.
Born in one of the poorest and least developed parts of India, Gupta's art explores the significance of simple items in the lives of everyday Indians. Some of his most well known pieces include a bronze and aluminium sculpture of a bike, and an installation made up of dozens of stainless steel pots and pails. The NGV will also program numerous events around the exhibition, including curator talks and panel discussions about the state of contemporary Indian art.
