class="content__text" ‘Often using a constricted palette, with just two or three base colours in acrylic and oil, (Gaurav) Gupta applies his thinned pigment with a range of implements including rags, brushes, sponges, and his hands. Laying his canvas on the floor, from a heightened position, Gupta experiments slowly in real time making visually transparent his deliberations: colours are mixed and remixed directly, marks get made, wiped out, covered over and condensed. Some streaks leak into each other, on occasion his gestures splutter or flourish like calligraphic strokes.’ — Cleo Roberts-Komireddi Gaurav Gupta’s solo exhibition, ‘Confluence’, is now open. Do visit. — #gauravgupta #painting #mumbai
