Shatrudhan K. Gupta（印度｜IN）

藝術家簡介｜CV of the Artist：

Shatrudhan K. Gupta 古巴塔（印度）在印度的「勒克瑙大學美術學院」獲得了學士和碩士學位，並在中國杭州的中國美術學院進行了為期兩年的高級學者研究計劃。目前，他是中國上海的上海大學上海美術學院的博士研究生。
他精通多種媒介，包括繪畫、素描、陶瓷、裝置藝術、混合媒體等，通過色彩、形式、材質和空間構成來表達精緻的情感。他享受每一個作品的過程，並通過不斷的研究和實踐展現出他的精湛技藝和創新能力。對於創作的新穎性是他作品的重要組成部分。除了藝術家身份外，他堅信情感和同理心的價值，在創作過程中起到推動作用，不僅為潛在的思想打開大門，也吸收新元素。
古巴塔的作品一直具有實驗性，從平凡到非凡的旅程中充滿了連續性。他的視野始終在作品的頂端，相互關聯發揮著重要作用，通過不同概念的融合展現出文化的印記。他的「線條與空間」系列作品是他探索和焦慮的完美例證。
他的藝術作品曾參加過包括印度第二屆版畫雙年展、中國深圳大芬藝術雙年展、北京國際藝術雙年展第五屆和第八屆等多個知名藝術雙年展，並參加了北京國際藝術雙年展第八屆的國際研討會，目前在中國上海生活和工作。

Shatrudhan K (IN) did his Bachelor & Master degrees in fine arts from the ‘College of Arts and Crafts, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lucknow’, India, and followed by two years ‘Senior Scholar Research Program’ at the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, China. Currently, he is a research scholar (PhD) at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, Shanghai University, Shanghai, China.

With a mastery in diverse mediums; paintings, drawings, ceramics, installation, mixed media, and fine expressions through colors, forms, textures, and space division. Every bit and piece of work is enjoyed by him and a great assimilation of mastery and innovation can be witnessed in his works through his continuous research and implementations. Being novel in the creation is a vital piece of his work. Besides being an artist, he affirms believers in the values of emotion and empathy, acting as a driver in creative processes by not only opening doors for budding thoughts but also in the absorption of new elements.

Shatrudhan’s work has always been an insignia of experimentation where there is a series of a journey from the ordinary to the extraordinary. His vision is always at the pinnacle of his works where interconnection plays a key role, working through different concepts is an art but connections within them are a mark of culture. The ‘Line & Space’ series works is a perfect example of him being investigative and anxious.

His artworks have been a major part of numerous prestigious art biennales within India and abroad including the 2nd Print Biennale New Delhi India, the 2nd Dafen Art Biennale Shenzhen, the 5th & 8th Beijing International Art Biennale, and he participated in the International Symposium of the 8th Beijing International Art Biennale, Beijing. Artist lives and works in Shanghai, China.

關於本次駐留｜About Residency：

我的駐留計劃和研究將基於梵文詞語“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”，意為“世界是一個家庭”。我將通過我的藝術研究試圖將這個詞語變為現實。藝術有著統一的力量，能夠向大眾表達這種力量，藝術是愛和團結的一種語言，我相信我的藝術研究提案將使世界更加緊密地聯繫在一起。希望通過我的藝術作品表達人類的連結和屬於同一個家庭的感覺，也將努力讓人們彼此更加親近。

過去幾年來，我對探索空間構成的概念以及它們的平衡與不平衡非常感興趣，還有如何以極簡主義的方式運用物體和元素。為此，我使用基本的藝術材料，包括丙烯顏料、水彩、鉛筆、畫布和紙張。另一方面，我也試圖研究空間如何在其中產生正面和負面的氛圍，並邀請其他元素在其中建立關係，創造平衡與不平衡之間的構圖。我希望在重慶十方藝術中心期間能夠繼續發展和豐富這些想法，並從重慶獲得靈感。

Introduction: My artist residency plan and artistic research at DAC Chongqing will be based on the ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ a Sanskrit phrase, which means ‘World Is One Family’ I would try to bring this phrase to reality through my artistic research. Art has the power to unite, to express it to the masses, art is one language of love and togetherness, I am sure that my artist research proposal will bring the world closer to each other. I would want to express through my art; the bonding of humanity, and belonging to one family, will also try to bring people closer to each other.

‘Past few years I am interested in exploring the idea of structural form and space division in my art practices, and its balance & imbalance, along with how to use objects and elements in a minimalistic way. For that, I am using basic art materials including acrylic color, watercolor, graphite pencil, canvas, and paper. On the other way, I am trying to investigate also, how the space produces a positive and negative atmosphere within the space and invites the other components to make a relation within them and create a composition between balance and imbalance’, I would want to continue and enhance these ideas during my stay at DAC and get inspirations from the Chongqing and enrich these ideas there.
