Born in 1975, Ved Prakash Gupta received his Bachelor’s degree in Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, in 2004, and, in 2006, completed his Master’s degree from the same institute.
Gupta’s sculptural works in fiberglass use a tangible language to convey what the artist thinks of the socio-economic hierarchies prevalent in society today. His miniature businessmen, and the amphibians and mammals he portrays in rich, bold colors, illustrate both the artist’s wit as well as his sarcasm.
Gupta recently held his first solo show, ‘Arrested Moment’, presented by Gallery Threshold at the India Habitat Center, New Delhi, in 2008. The most recent group shows in which his works have been featured include ‘The Human Animal’ presented by Gallery Threshold and Religare Art Initiative, New Delhi, in 2009; ‘Through Other Eyes’ at Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry, in 2009; ‘Urgent: 10 ml of Contemporary Needed’ organized by the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art at Travancore Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2008; ‘Ltd.Edn.' at Gallery Articullate, Mumbai, in 2008; and 'Ltd. Edn.' at Gallery Threshold, New Delhi in 2007. In 2007, Gupta was honoured with the HK Kejriwal Award, Bangalore, as well as the Kashi Award for Visual Art, Kochi.
