Nature Morte is pleased to present a solo show of new works by the artist Parul Gupta. This is the first time the gallery is working with the artist and will be her largest solo show to date. On view will be a range of works: drawings on paper made from ink, charcoal, oil pastel, gold pigments, alone and in combinations; as well as sculptures of painted aluminium.
Gupta's visual language is born from Minimalism and all of her works appear deceptively simple at first, but with time their complex programs and internal intensities become apparent. Drawings composed from overlapping parallel lines, in two and three colors, seem to defy perception, oscillating in front of the viewer and possessing a vibratory charge. In both a series of works rendered in charcoal and gold pigment and the sculptures, Gupta seduces the viewer with the illusion of the doppelganger, rife with allusions to paranormal perceptions. Her main subject is the square, yet this most serene of geometric forms is torqued, layered, multiplied, and confounded to create works of heightened tensions.
Parul Gupta was born in New Delhi in 1980 and studied at Delhi University before receiving her MFA degree from the Nottingham Trent University in the UK in 2011. She has held solo exhibitions of her work at the Lakeeren Gallery in Mumbai and the Institute Cervantes and gallery Exhibit 320 in New Delhi. She has been included in group shows at Shrine Empire Gallery in New Delhi, Sakshi Gallery in Mumbai, and the Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur, among many other locations. She currently lives and works in the New Delhi suburb of Noida.
