Exploring the delicate boundary between abstraction and reflection, this hand-tufted woolen rug by Bimal Das Gupta invites viewers into a sophisticated visual dialogue. Composed with a rich palette of earthy tones, the piece unfolds as a mirrored composition that elegantly balances opposing realms, above and below, reality and illusion, creating a nuanced meditation on duality and transformation. The subtle interplay of fluid forms evokes a sense of movement and harmony, engaging the viewer’s perception on both intellectual and emotional levels.
Das Gupta’s use of texture in the wool medium adds a tactile dimension to the work, enhancing its depth and inviting closer inspection. The surface reveals layers of woven patterns and undulating shapes that ripple across the composition, suggesting reflections on water or the shifting landscapes of memory. This dynamic interaction between form and surface amplifies the artwork’s contemplative mood, encouraging an immersive experience of balance and flux. Delicate floral motifs punctuate the composition, their organic curves and soft outlines providing a poetic counterpoint to the abstract geometric structures. These botanical elements not only enrich the visual complexity but also symbolize growth, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life, reinforcing the themes of transformation and harmony that permeate the work.
As the second edition in a limited series of nine, this rug exemplifies Das Gupta’s innovative fusion of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic sensibility. The artist’s mastery in translating complex conceptual ideas into the tactile realm of textile art is evident in the rug’s harmonious integration of color, form, and symbolism. The result is a piece that transcends its functional origins to become a profound work of art, inviting reflection and introspection. Bimal Das Gupta’s artistry bridges the worlds of fine art and craft, using the medium of hand-tufted wool to explore universal themes of perception, duality, and transformation. This artwork stands as a testament to his ability to evoke poetic resonance through abstract forms, inviting viewers to engage with the subtle tensions between what is seen and what is felt. Through its layered meanings and textured beauty, the rug offers a contemplative space where balance and change coexist in elegant dialogue.
Why Choose Us
Art has always, naturally, reflected the development and exploration of different thoughts and perceptions, and our current postmodern era is no different. It is interesting to see how art has evolved visually, yet the traditional methods of composing art remain a valid means of expression.
All it takes for an artist to rise above normalcy, is inspiration, which fuels his passion to paint beautiful creations throughout his life.
The valuable expression of art is always there with us, but now this expression is yet to take an interesting diversion with our art gallery, Gallery Silver Scapes, located in Hauz Khas Enclave. Art is no longer considered just decorative but has evolved and come forth as a major form of investment yielding high rates of returns for its buyers, making it an expression commonly used.
Mrs Mayor was walked into the art world by the legendary modernist Bimal Das Gupta, one of whose biggest collections remains with Gallery Silver Scapes. In the 1980s, as head and first curator of the Habiart Gallery founded by Mrs Rekha Modi — a childhood friend — Mrs Mayor worked closely with and curated shows for renowned artists such as A Ramachandran, GR Santosh, Rameshwar Broota, Sakti Burman, MK Bardhan, Dhiraj Chaudhury, M Sivanesan, and Arup Das among others.
Besides modern masters, she also worked with young contemporaries such as Sudip Roy, Paresh Maity, Subroto Kundu, Vinod Sharma, and many more. Artworks commissioned by her are now part of prestigious collections, such as those of the India Habitat Centre, Ranbaxy, Pepsi, Hotel Lalit, Bank of America, and many more private and public collections.
