Subodh Gupta

Hailed as India’s Damien Hirst, Subodh Gupta certainly knows how to make some big ol skulls. We posted about his massive metal skull made from various kitchen utensils a few years ago. It’s only fair that we share some more.

We stumbled across an interesting article on Walker Art, written by Darsie Alexander that brought the amazing work of Gupta to our attention again. Written as a part of a journal in 2012 the article talks about a studio visit with Subodh Gupta and Bharti Kher. It was the weathered clay skulls that really caught my attention. Created in Gupta’s skull style, these huge clay skulls sit outside his studio. These glaring monsoon weathered skulls are both beautiful and slightly ominous.
