Lines Of Light (Online Exhibition)

One still remembers Sangeeta Gupta’s paintings of cacti way back in the early 90s, as she was starting out as a painter. She has moved steadily, though not slowly, to gain much ground with her art, even as she came to terms with all that life dealt on her. Gradually, in the process of looking inwards, she discovered within herself stirrings made up of hues and colours, boundless yet layered by countless textures, surfacing to the fore as she took up the brush, almost as a process of meditation. It must undoubtedly have been an exhilarating and rejuvenating experience, externalised in paintings, progressively better composed, emanating the calm, balance and equanimity exuding necessarily from within.

Colours are muted, of tinted with gold and silver, expressions of success, growth and fulfillment, like a magic carpet transcending the clouds.

Layering, grading, texturing and highlights have remained the keystones of Sangeeta’s works in the recent years. Experimenting with varying tools she has delivered works that fill the length and breadth of the canvas in an unending continuum of tones and textures, like a universe laid bare, as ready for speculation as for meditation, exuding a magnificence that stretches from consciousness to infinity, fragments lifted in frames as works of art. She paints the fabric of life, from the inner depths of her consciousness as she experiences success, restraint and peace.

The show has been exhibited in Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), New Delhi in the year 2013.
