About
With her latest paintings, artist Sangeeta Gupta continues her tryst with abstracts. Titled Concordances, the exhibition was inaugurated on Saturday evening at Kumar Art Gallery, Sundar Nagar. The gallery sure overflowed with guests but it was hard to ignore any of Gupta's huge, colourful canvasses which almost seemed to rule the walls of the gallery.
A small and cosy get together, the evening brought together artists, art lovers, collectors and gallery owners. The guest list included artists like Rameshwar Broota with wife Vasundhra Tiwari, Dharmendra Rathore, Kanchan Chander, Durga Kainthola, among others. The artist was busy signing catalogues and mixing up with guests throughout the evening and it was difficult to catch her free even for a few minutes.
Gupta, an officer of the Indian Revenue Service, said about her recent works: "My paintings show harmony. Why do we love music? It is because it has harmony. I also want my paintings to create a similar harmonious effect." Gupta began her career making drawings and shifted to painting abstracts in oils and acrylics six years back. Virendra Kumar Jain of Kumar Art Gallery, who has been exhibiting Gupta's works from the beginning, said: "Sangeeta's enthusiasm takes her to great heights successfully. I have seen Sangeeta grow as an artist. Abstract is the ultimate form of art and is also the most difficult. But Sangeeta's paintings are a culmination of her hard work over the years."
The exhibition is on at Kumar Gallery till March 25th, which is then showing next month at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai from 13th through 19th April.
