Vipeksha Gupta (b.1989, New Delhi, India) is an Indian visual artist who produces pigment art by blending graphite, charcoal and pigments on hot press Fabriano paper. Throughout her career, she has experimented with geometric modernism, abstract expressionism, minimalism, suprematism and ultimately selected abstract art as her preferred from of expression. She is influenced by both the Western world and the South Asian
landscape, drawing inspiration from artists Richard Serra, Barnett Newman and Josef Albers as well as being inspired by ‘the mysticism of India and the Far East.’
After years of experimentation and thought, Gupta has reversed her process by focusing on “the light in the dark”. She considers that her works are imbued with their own luminosity as they present smoothed out layers forming intriguing hues inviting its viewers to enter a meditative state. As per the artist, this creates a metaphysical shared experience where the artist and viewers simultaneously tap into their human consciousness.
