Artists Statement :

 In my new painting, the image will help you to meditate, concentrate and make you realize the depth of colors and strength of images. Colour is capturing individual mind, relating to the conscious mind and takes you to different world, as well as it works as a colour therapy to the mind. I am trying to touch the soul with the visual material. In short, I try to release the body, mind and soul through my brush. The work has high visual attraction which holds the mind and induce “P e a c e”.

I am a painter, sculptor and Printmaker,and occasionally I write poetry. I like working on monumental sculpture. I have proficiency in stone carving, metal casting and fibre moulding works. I am able to use any media according to the demands of my work subject. I do printmaking, using various techniques. I have vastly used serigraph and etching.

The content and subject of my work are based on past experiences. I subconsciously filter these experiences and bring them out visually in an abstract figurative manner. The total image comes forth as intricate drawing which reflects my subconscious mind. The themes are based on love and fantasy although these are not literally depicted. Daily experiences from life influence my work. This is the essence of my work.      While producing my work, I do not consciously set about making an image. I try to capture the essence of feeling or mood and depict it through various media. Some times I draw pictures of my inner world which in turns make me feel strange and mind boggling.

By an Art critic:

Ghanshyam Gupta is a painter who has the rare honour of exhibiting his creations along with the some of the greatest artists of all times: Lucian Freud, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, Edward Munch, Henri Matisse, Rembrandt, and Albert Durer. This exhibition was London Original Print Fair held in 1997 at the Royal Academy of Art, London. He received the Nordsten Award for the Best Print of the year from the London Original PrintAssociation and received the Art Museum Award Winner, from Tokyo International mini-print Triennial, Japan in 1998. Also to his credit is the most prestigious honour of receiving the Inlakes scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art, London. His works were included in Osians auctions. He is a sculptor, printmaker, and a painter.

His works are constantly in transformation. His latest series of painting are devoted to optical illusion on one hand and transcendental meanings on the other. Circles of colours revolve in centripetal and centrifugal permutations.

From  Rashna Patel tagnline@gmail.com Succumb to the world that’s beyond what is Shut your eyes, open the inner door of YOU, Imagine the celestial colours of sublime peace Outgrow the unwanted, go embrace the TRUE, Surrender then to the rhythm of your breath Know the inner self, your expectations are FEW, Happy is the heart that is light in its desire Your soul is now rejuvenated, feels ANEW, Gradually the curtains of conscious mind fall Liberate your life, a new hope is close in VIEW. Inspiring Joy, Inviting Calmness and Invoking Oneness

Soulful paintings are not just pieces of art where the brush touches the landscape; they are a part of life where the surreal connects to the obvious. Ghanshyam Gupta’s paintings are all about Inspiring Joy, Inviting Calmness and Invoking Oneness

Exuding from his personal experiences, Ghanshyam’s work resonate the essence of treating all emotions at par. When feelings in their various manifestations ….pain or pleasure, happiness or hurt, love or longing….are accepted with the same grace, reverence & balance, we realize divine joy. Ghanshyam’s art reflects the quintessence of Inspiring Joy.Holistic, Happy, Harmonius…..Colour therapy pulsates in Ghanshyam’s paintings. When the seven spectrum of colours merge into the seven energy centres of the body, a rare sanctity takes control over the mind. Every painting absorbs this enigmatic, yet positively energizing power of colours, thus giving birth to images Inviting Calmnes.

We are not what we are Trained, we are not what we are Taught, we are not what we are Termed….We are what we THINK! Ghanshyam’s abstract and figurative strokes stimulate the inner light, where shackles of earthly relationships are surpassed and one connects purely to oneself….thus Invoking Oneness.  

Ghanshyam Gupta, is a highly respected, widely travelled and vastly experienced painter, sculptor and printmaker. His works are a reflection of the positive and strong influences of colours, structures and meditative powers in human lives. His proficiency includes stone carving, metal casting, fibre moulding works and printmaking, using various techniques. All this, complemented with some outstanding display of serigraph and etching.

Not only is Ghanshyam Gupta an acclaimed artist nationally, but he has received several accolades across the world. To his merit he has lined up for himself some prestigious awards like……………..
