'Seven Billion light years', an exhibition of sculptures, installations, film, and new painting by Subodh Gupta. Spanning the new Delhi-Based artist's career to the present day, the exhibition emphasizes Gupta's distinctive use of found, common place objects in his ongoing campaign to map the effects of cultural dislocation in our era of shifting powers. In Particular, he captures the everyday realities of life in India- its nearly surreal collisions between the inescapably earthy and the ineffably divine, between the current of masses and the path private days - through works of art that address dichotomies between traditional values and the impact of globalization.
I am an Interior Designer, but I started to study Art from my teenager. So I grew up with art and going to many art exhibitions for a long time although contemporary art is hard for me to understand many times. Most of contemporary works at the museum and galleries have a great concept, but I cannot connect the concept with actual works. I am sure it would be hard most of people as well. For this exhibition, you won't have much problem. Most of pieces which he uses in his work are something you see it in the photo or real life. You could sense and feel it is not only conceptual work. It comes from our life. The art actually connected in our life. It is not conceptual material. If you want to feel or wondering what is the contemporary art, it will be a good exhibition to check it out.
