Event Description : Gallery Art & Soul Presents "Zen Space" The complete collection of Sculptures, Paintings and Haikus by Satish Gupta.
For the first time in 25 years, globally acclaimed Delhi-based poet, writer, painter and sculptor Satish Gupta is exhibiting his complete collection of sculptures, paintings and haikus in a public space from Thursday 24th -31st March, 2016 at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Center. Known for his life-size installations, copper sculptures, paintings, drawings and calligraphy, the eclectic artist Satish Gupta recently collaborated with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a sculpture-painting titled 'Om NAMO Shivay' which received rave reviews from the art critics and enthusiasts alike.
Satish Gupta, a karamyogi and a creative genius, is a multi-faceted artist, painter, sculptor, poet, writer, printmaker, skilled draftsman, muralist, designer, calligrapher and ceramicist, who refuses to be labelled and is truly an artist without boundaries. On display at the exhibition will be his lifetime’s works of 10 sculptures, 8 paintings and 72 haikus. Drawn to nature, Satish’s journey began as a painter of landscapes. His paintings encompass portraiture, landscape as well as abstract imagery and reflect his deep engagement with mysticism and Zen spirit. The colours used are minimalistic, delicate and understated like blues, moss green, lilac pink, earthy brown and beige make for an ethereal world.
In his works there is a sense of calm detachment, an assurance that he is both participant and observer in his own life. His collections of Haikus presented in his characteristic and visually rich calligraphic style like “You are welcome to your mansions and palaces, The empty sky belongs to me” and “Each person’s silence is unique, just like his voice”, captures the subtle nuances of the Zen philosophy, that Satish practices. These haikus are autobiographical as they trace his journey and act as records of the most transforming moments.
One has to view Satish’s life size work, a sleeping Buddha's head reclined at an angle, which will grace the Atrium of the India Habitat Center, to understand the quiet repose of his work. The sculpture is 23*13.5*9 feet is both meditative and quieting, because of its towering scale has a surprise element. For on the reverse, Buddha's head is patterned like a cave, its inner walls inscribed with neat rows of Buddhas carved as though by ancient hands on a rock face like edicts from a preceding age. The mesmerizing quality of The Buddhas within is hypnotic, yet it is neither old nor rock, but copper, and across the 'cave's' length sprawls the figure of a gilded sleeping Buddha.
In “Surrender” an elegantly aerodynamic Garuda done in Copper with Patina, Stainless Steel with Gold and Mirror finish measuring 12 x 16 x 9 feet to understand the sheer magnitude of his perspective. The Garuda, with its wings spread against the sky’s invitation to fly. It certainly is larger than life in its size but is made in a way that it does not overpower. Its legs and hands are bent, perhaps in worship, or submission; each feather in each wing is so finely delineated which in itself is a work of art. Despite its size, this sculpture exhibits a suggestion of lightness, the possibility of flight that is more real than imagined. Then there are the deeply moving sculptures Shunya and Meditations on a Mandala, each a masterpiece of voids and solids, a Buddha cut from a metal sheet of Buddhas and suspended from a metal rope, to merge one moment and emerge the next, a point of mediation and meditation. They make us rethink of mankind’s constant quest and search, a restlessness that can succumb to suggestions of accord only when it unites with, not against, nature.
The Sanskriti awardee’s personal collection on display at the sprawling India Habitat Center will give the visitors a chance to experience the ethereal quality of his works which are lucid, lyrical and profound. Speaking about the Delhi born artist’s works which are meditative in nature,renowned spiritual guru Deepak Chopra says, “Going through Satish Gupta’s very evocative artwork in his collections, I found myself seeing the world for the first time again. To read a few lines as in the following Zen like words: ‘It’s amazing – Ganga flows, Moon shines’, complete with artwork puts you in a state of surrender; but also, in touch with mystery. It becomes the matrix from which insight, intuition, imagination, and creativity emerge.”
