Judith Benhamou-Huet Reports issued an extensive feature article on complete metamorphosis of Subodh Gupta’s work. 

Judith Benhamou-Huet is a journalist, independent art curator and author of many books. Her reports turned into a go-to resource for insightful information in art and the art market, complementing the engaging columns she writes for the French newspaper Les Echos and the magazine Le Point. 

The new report acquaints the audience with the artist, who rose to international stardom developing an instantly recognizable visual style with an arrangement of stainless steel utensils into monumental sculptures. His works now have a proud place in famous collections and museums across the planet: from Hauser&Wirth, Continua to Nature Morte. 

Ms.Benhamou-Huet’s report unveils a sincere portrait of a rather frank and direct person, who is not afraid to admit the dissatisfactions of the whole creative process. She then elaborates on Gupta’s stylistic metamorphosis, clearly marked in Anahad, one of his latest shows. ‘Anahad’ is a Hindu concept, which as Gupta explains can mean “ the sound of one hand clapping” or “the sound of silence”. The exhibition evokes strong emotions: with paintings on metal, shot through by beams of light, the artist unleashes raw power. His works are captivating, it feels like the artist reconnected with his own spirit and it leaves you reinterpreting the spiritual power of art.

Judith Benhamou-Huet Reports刊登了一篇描述Subodh Gupta工作完全转型的极具张力的文章。

Judith Benhamou-Huet是一个记者,独立艺术策展人,此外还有很多著作。她的报道已经变成了一个可以查询艺术和艺术市场上各类内部消息的资源库,并和她为法国报纸Les Echos和杂志Le Point写作的专栏形成互补。

这篇新报道让读者们了解到这样一位化腐朽为神奇国际知名家喻户晓的艺术家。他的作品在世界上各大博物馆和收藏馆都享有盛誉:Hauser&Wirth、Continua和Nature Morte等等。

Benhamou-Huet女士的报导向我们展现了一个真诚直接的人,一个对创作过程中的任何不满意都毫不避讳的人。她详细介绍了Gupta风格的变化,特别是他最新的作品Anahad中表现出来的那样。Anahad是一个印度概念,Gupta解释说这代表“孤掌之鸣”或者是“沉默之音”。展览能够激起强烈的情感:艺术家借助光线在金属上作画,释放了原始的力量。他的作品非常吸引人,就像是艺术家和他自己的灵魂重新取得了联系,而这一切将让你沉浸于艺术的精神力量。
