Subodh Gupta came back with a BANG and showcase Anahad/Unstruck after nine years in Mumbai

Subodh Gupta is Indian contemporary artist living in Delhi basically from Patna, Bihar. After a nine-year absence, Subodh Gupta has returned to Mumbai with a production that brilliantly combines his politics and evolving aesthetic style.  

Subodh Gupta's most recent solo exhibition, Anahad/Unstruck, is currently being held at Studio Mahalaxmi, which has recently been transformed into an art venue. The exhibition comprises four paintings and four installations, all of which were created within two enormous film studios and all of which utilized different metal components, particularly Gupta's preferred alloy, steel. Gupta's recent explorations with form and structure, however, provide a whole new world to many people in the city who are accustomed to his characteristic enmeshment of pots, pans, and other steel utensils prevalent in Indian homes.  

When an artist explores his own roots and culture, he develops a distinctive style. According to Germano Celant, an art historian and creative director of the Prada Foundation, visualizations produce a potent image. Anahad/Unstruck, an exhibition of artist Subodh Gupta, was organized in Mumbai, featuring a larger-than-life art installation. After ten years, he finally performed a solo concert that delved into the ideas and issues of cosmic connections and migration.  

Be prepared to be surprised when you enter a room. Gupta creates works using metal sheets and kitchen items, accentuated with music and light. The word 'Anahad', which alludes to the sound of stillness, is a philosophical term that comes from Kabir's poetry and means 'unstruck.' It is beyond geography, time, and human awareness, and has no beginning or end. Using this as the main focus, the artist reveals a new cosmos with common items. Gupta begins a discussion and scientific investigation into the relationship between the physical and the spiritual. We left the performance wondering how sound can be created in the absence of sound and how noise may disrupt quiet.  

The final solo exhibition of Gupta's work "Start.Stop" in the city, shown in 2007 at the Kalaghoda location of the former Bodhi Art, played off scale with the white cube gallery space. The "sushi belt" piece gave the impression of a continuously moving metropolis by stacking tiffin boxes on a sushi conveyor belt. It was a striking remembrance of an improbable thing due to its size and mobility taken together. Everything seems unlikely this month at Famous Studio, yet each piece, whether an installation or a painting, demands to take center stage in your recollections. Furthermore, each piece reveals a change in Gupta's political views, creative style, and interests.

According to Peter Nagy, the director of Nature Morte Delhi, "It's merely a development of Subodh's work" Of course, Nagy has been familiar with the artist and his work for the past ten years, since Gupta's gallery has been his gallerist. And many of Gupta's accomplishments during those nine years can be viewed here. Although finding a place to live was one of Nagy's difficulties, he was able to resolve the issue. Gupta decided on a Famous Studio after extensive research in August of this year. Before this current exhibition, Nature Morte utilized the venue for a group exhibition called The Science of Speed in 2014, which featured artists Aditya Pande, Asim Waqif, Rajorshi Ghosh, and Vishal Dar.
