Description

This work reflects the richness and fullness of nature, while also reminding us of what is slowly fading away. The two blank patches represent the silence left behind when we take too much from the forest—spaces where some things once lived, grew, breathed. The intricate details capture the beauty that still surrounds us, alongside the looming emptiness we may face if we fail to care for it.

  • ABOUT Ashu Gupta

    Ashu Gupta is a contemporary artist whose practice is an exercise in introspection. A graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Design in Raipur, Ashu also holds a certificate from London’s Royal College of Art Contemporary Art Summer School. She developed her artistic practice through experimentation with pattern making, allowing intricate motifs to slowly emerge as larger forms. Working predominantly with pen and ink, Ashu uses hundreds of thousands of repeating patterns and stippling in her work. In recent times, she has also incorporated experiments with other techniques such as paper piercing and thread work, in her practice. Ashu’s deeply layered, mostly monochromatic compositions offer the possibility of a new interpretation with every glance. Her subjects are always emphasized, with nothing to distract from the beauty of her stunning pieces.

    With an artistic style that is both distinct and confident, Ashu’s works have been collected by seasoned art collectors, in what are still the early years of her professional journey. Ashu has participated in several group exhibitions across India, and held solo exhibitions at Gallery Sublime, Bangalore in 2017 and at Artisera in August 2020 and August 2022. She has been nominated for the prestigious Lalit Kala Academy Awards (2016-17 and 2017-18) and the 2017 Bombay Art Society Awards. She was part of Madras Art Weekend 2024. The artist lives and works in Bangalore.
