press release

In February 2016 Hauser & Wirth Somerset will present a major solo exhibition of new and recent work by Subodh Gupta spanning all five gallery spaces. 'Invisible Reality' will bring together a rich collection of sculptures, installations and paintings by the New Delhi-based artist, referencing cosmic parallels through his conscious repurposing of daily realities. The works in the exhibition continue the artist's signature use of functional and found objects relating to his home country, drawing on both cultural and social shifts as well as considering these objects as vessels with personal and geological histories. Created over a six-year period, the ambitious new body of work reflects Gupta's meditative engagement with the intimate patterns and rituals that define the everyday, inherited through a network of collective ancestral influences.
