Vipeksha Gupta

Vipeksha Gupta’s (b.1989, New Delhi, India) approach is phenomenological, a trajectory of introspection moving outside the realms of the human body, to explore the metaphysical sphere created by our collective consciousness. Gupta looks to land artists such as Michael Heizer, Richard Serra, Barnett Newman, Mary Corse and Josef Albers for their sensibilities but is equally drawn to the mysticism of India and the Far East.

Light is the premise of Gupta’s practice. Works are imbued with their own luminosity, reflecting a deep meditation into human consciousness and the power of shared experiences. Using Fabriano hot pressed paper, Gupta’s work is highly stratified, she explores concepts through graphite, charcoal and pigments, with previous layers smoothed out. Every effort, every coating, still remains visible at the end, not unlike her belief that eternity is an embroidery of experiences that come together.
