An Exhibition by Satish Gupta

Satish Gupta's solo exhibition, Icons/Elements, from 11th to 31st March 2025 at Sanchit Art, New Delhi, was a unique experience for art lovers. The paintings and sculptures included in this exhibition explore spirituality, transformation, and cosmic energy. Inspired by Vishnu Sahasranama, his immersive panel of 360 units reflects divine omnipresence. Created almost in a trance state, this work sculpts itself as the universe, pulsating with the radiant wisdom of Shreevats. Combining dreamlike landscapes with swirling energies, Gupta's mastery as an artist captures the interplay of light, movement,t and introspection.

Satish Gupta's art is a profound expression of the interrelationship of spirituality, nature, and man. Through his sculptures and paintings, he explores the existence and mysteries of life. His large paintings in this exhibition convey a sense of profundity with simplicity. More than colours, these paintings have the presence of light, which hints towards the possibility of life. In these paintings, which are focused on light, we get to see a different form of Satish Gupta's art. His spiritual paintings included in the exhibition, which include Vishnu Sahasranama and many other spiritual and mythical subjects, bring another form of his art to us. Satish Gupta has been known for his huge sculptures for a long time, in his sculptures of Buddha have been famous. This exhibition includes some sculptures of relatively smaller size.

Dialogues Across Time is a captivating exhibition that explores the interconnectedness of nature, the balance of opposites, and the mysteries of existence through the art of Satish Gupta. Rooted in the philosophy that everything in the universe—from particles to galaxies—is in constant motion, Gupta’s sculptures and paintings delve into the harmony of opposing forces like light and darkness, creation and destruction, and fluidity and solidity. Through works like Vishnu Sahastranam, The Wandering Cloud, and Bodhisattva, Gupta masterfully blends ancient spiritual traditions with contemporary artistry. His creations highlight themes of rejuvenation, freedom, compassion, and the eternal cycles of life and renewal. Each piece reflects his deep connection to nature and the cosmos, inspiring viewers to reflect on the profound truths of existence and their own journey of self-discovery.
