India is a running thread throughout Subodh Gupta's work, revealing the conflicts inherent in both domestic and national spaces. His striking sculptural work takes a metaphorical look at the great social disparities and the tensions between tradition and modernity that his country is currently facing.
Resulting from the assembly of everyday objects - obsolete machines or stainless steel kitchen utensils - his monumental works suggest the theatrical dynamics that Gupta enjoys. While recalling his early focus on performance and video, this monumentality also raises the profile of humble objects in Indian rural life.
A key figure on the international contemporary scene, Gupta leads people to open their eyes to India's current challenges. His works in the Pinault Collection were first exhibited at the "Sequence 1" show at the Palazzo Grassi.
