Subodh Gupta: Everyday Divine
The NGV presents Subodh Gupta: Everyday Divine, a solo
exhibition of one of India鈥檚 pre-eminent contemporary artists, Subodh Gupta, in
collaboration with New York-based art collector Larry Warsh. Gupta was born in
1964 in the Indian province of Bihar, which has remained the poorest and least
developed area of India since independence.
Celebrating the vestiges of everyday life for many Indians and elevating the
objects found in domestic and street life to a position of spiritual worship is
at the heart of Gupta鈥檚 practice.
The exhibition includes key works from his oeuvre including
Cow 2003, a bronze and aluminium sculpture of a life-size bicycle
and milk pails, which represents the travels and travails of everyday village
life.
Subodh Gupta grew up a Hindu 鈥� a religion that considers everything around us
imbued with the divine. Through his artwork visitors have the opportunity to
appreciate, relish and celebrate the truly humble and reflect on our place in
the world.
