在一个价值观念等同于奢侈、地位和珍稀的世界里，苏博德·古普塔(Suboth Gupta)使每天的生活变得更有意义。他的最新展览“70亿光年”(70亿光年)最近在豪泽(Hauser)开幕。

古普塔对现成物品的喜爱，不仅使他成为当代艺术界公认的人物，也成为了印度文化的使者。这位名为“七十亿光年”(70亿光年)的印度艺术家的画作，以更大的比例呈现了日常用品，比如破旧的碟子和划痕的金属锅。在两米高的画布上，这些熟悉的物体具有超凡脱俗和无限的品质。古普塔还将原始物体附在画作上，在这两个实体之间创造了一种纽带，就像轨道上的行星一样，这在他正在进行的关于凡人生命与更大宇宙之间的距离的对话中发挥作用。

古普塔对发现的物品的使用，可能给他的作品杜尚和超现实主义的含意，但隐喻之外，他们清楚地表达了日常印度生活的紧张和二分。“当我看到器皿时，它给了我一种我无法描述的感觉。古普塔在谈到他的过程时说：“我感到非常兴奋。”“这些器皿的痕迹告诉了我这么多的故事，我感觉到它们是如此的完整。”

展览的亮点之一是安装，“这不是喷泉”（2011-2013），一个铝制烹饪容器的集合，水龙头喷出流水，测量12英尺长。
另一项名为“我的家庭肖像”的作品（2013年）将每个家庭成员视为金属器皿、厨房工具和餐具的悬挂架。
这些深情而未涂漆的人物在印度的社会、经济和文化特性中以一种轻松而又极不愉快的方式直拨入了印度。

'When I see utensils, it gives me a feeling I can’t describe. I get very excited,’ says Gupta, of his process. 'The marks of the utensils just tell me so many stories and I feel them so completely.' Photography: Genevieve Hanson
