Subodh Gupta love for Kitchen Utensils is adored by the world from Monnaie De Paris to MFA Boston.

Subodh Gupta and four other Indian artists will be featured in the historic Mega Cities Asia exhibition at the MFA in Boston. Aaditi Joshi and Asim Waqif the emerging artists, are neighbors of late geniuses Hema Upadhyay and Subodh Gupta. 

Subodh Gupta celebrates the kitchen in his work, with objects arranged on shelves in a way that mirrors the preference for cleanliness and orderliness in an Indian kitchen. All four Indian artist's urban works are grounded in reality rather than being the product of just fabricated dreams and stirred needs. 

On March 30, 2016, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in Boston, Massachusetts, opened its MEGACITIES ASIA exhibition, which included TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES AND WASH YOUR HANDS by artist Subodh Gupta. The exhibition featured 11 pieces by 19 artists from China, India, and South Korea. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston will host MEGACITIES ASIA, the largest contemporary exhibition to date, from April 3, 2016, through July 17, 2016. 

Four actions are involved when you take off your shoes and wash your hands. A 27-meter-long elegant exhibition of kitchenware is carefully arranged on stainless steel shelves and glitters on the long wall. A group of enormous eggs, each painstakingly welded from stainless steel kitchenware, are incubating beneath the soft light of a chandelier. 

If you think that this artwork is enough to applaud than you are wrong, Subodh Gupta itself proves you wrong with it another astonishing artwork namely “Very hungry God”.

This work of Gupta is striking sculpture that emphasizes a civilization that is constantly evolving and finding new meanings. Gupta has presented his sculptural work at a Parisian church, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Venice Biennale. Furthermore, it was a component of Daria Zhukov as largest-ever exhibition of contemporary art in Moscow. 

In Very Hungry God, he used highly shiny metallic items, which are materials that are common in Indian homes. There are 3 distribution plates, 2 stainless steel tubes, 3000 culinary utensils, and various elements used in the making of "very Hungary God" by Subodh Gupta. The three-dimensional skull is given sparkle and luster by them. The inexpensive stainless steel cooking utensils represent his recollections of his family and upbringing, while also having a symbolic connotation. 

Indians have abandoned their culture as a result of globalization, according to Very Hungry God. Indian culture has endured a difficult past. According to Gupta, kitchen appliances are a symbol of a sense of home and modest economic progress. The skull represents the passing of the Native American heritage. 

Despite being scattered across the room, each serenely shimmering thing becomes a colossal object that begs for reflection. The gallery is flooded with metallic light from their combined might.
