Subodh Gupta's First French Solo Show at in Situ
In October 2005, Parisian gallery in Situ hosted Subodh Gupta's first solo exhibition in France. The Indian artist also had a one-man show at Art et Public gallery in Geneva during Frieze. Gupta's work explores traditional India undergoing globalization, blending hermetic and open elements. His protean oeuvre is noted for its unusual aesthetic, rooted in Indian tradition while engaging with Western plastic codes. The creation is described as singular rather than syncretic, and more committed than ethnocentric.
