Subodh Gupta: From Far Away Uncle Moon Calls
The Mead Gallery presents a major exhibition by one of India鈥檚 foremost contemporary artists, Subodh Gupta.
Subodh Gupta is famous for transforming the everyday materials of Indian life into artworks. Working across painting, sculpture and installation, in Gupta鈥檚 hands objects such as tiffin boxes, cooking utensils and milk pails are used to reflect on the economic transformation of India during his lifetime and question the ambivalence of a society caught between traditional customs and globalisation, booming wealth and poverty. The artist鈥檚 work 鈥� beautiful, sensuous and frequently spectacular 鈥� encourages viewers to question the material, cultural and spiritual values attributed to objects, including pondering the inner life of used and discarded cooking vessels.
