Haiku of a Still Mind: Satish Gupta’s Journey into Continuum and Consciousness

At Bespoke Art Gallery, Ahmedabad, founder Devin Gawarvala presents Haiku of a Still Mind: Continuum · Consciousness · Coherence –a solo exhibition by renowned artist Satish Gupta. This contemplative showcase unfolds as a sanctuary of reflection, where stillness becomes dynamic, repetition transforms into rhythm, and art is encountered as a lived presence rather than spectacle. The exhibition is on show at Bespoke Art Gallery, Sindhu Bhavan–Ambli Road, Ahmedabad, and continues until 10 February 2026—a span where silence, rhythm, and coherence await discovery.

Presented with thoughtful care by Devin Gawarvala, the exhibition emphasizes process, attention and material resonance. Satish Gupta’s practice is revealed not as a linear narrative but as an ongoing journey—an evolving continuum shaped by discipline, repetition and clarity before action. Across decades and diverse mediums, his work embodies coherence, allowing past, present and future to coexist in experience.

Haiku of a Still Mind: The Art of Presence

The title Haiku of a Still Mind speaks not of poetry, but of a way of working—an art shaped by reduction and concentration. What appears simple in Satish Gupta’s practice is the result of long preparation, repeated effort, and mindful return. Each repetition sharpens attention, becoming a chant that gathers and releases energy. Stillness here is not absence, but a calm balance that defines his visual language.

Moving between abstraction and figuration, Gupta’s work resists spectacle. Precision and thoughtfulness guide his use of paint, ink, copper, gold, and text, across scales that shift from the intimacy of the human body to the vastness of the cosmos. Forms recur with subtle variation, suggesting continuity where the smallest mark and the largest idea share the same field of attention. Making becomes meditation, attention becomes devotion, and time unfolds in cycles of renewal rather than linear progression.

Surfaces carry memory, patina reveals duration, and emptiness is shaped with care. Viewers encounter the works first through the senses, before thought, allowing perception to precede interpretation. Coherence emerges when repetition, rhythm, and clarity converge—when form arises naturally from process. This exhibition offers more than artworks; it offers a way of being, inviting us to slow down, listen through looking, and discover presence as a deeper mode of knowing.

Satish Gupta: A Renaissance Spirit in Contemporary Art

Satish Gupta stands as one of India’s most celebrated and multifaceted artists—painter, sculptor, poet, writer, printmaker, muralist, designer, and calligrapher. His creations are infused with spirituality and a Zen-like stillness, resonating across monumental sculptures, murals, and paintings that inhabit museums, airports, hotels, and ashrams worldwide.

Renowned for his minimalist yet refined aesthetic, Gupta’s art bridges intimacy and vastness, moving from the human body to the cosmos with equal grace. His studios, Zazen in Gurgaon and Zen Studio 59 in Delhi, embody meditative spaces where creativity and contemplation merge. Over four decades, his journey has been marked by prestigious awards, international exhibitions, and iconic works such as Surya at Delhi’s T3 Airport, The Buddhas Within in Mumbai, and the monumental Vishnu at Antilia in Mumbai.

Drawing from India’s cultural heritage, Gupta’s practice radiates positivity and hope, offering viewers not just art but a pathway to introspection and enlightenment. A true modern-day renaissance man, his work continues to inspire with its elegance, devotion, and timeless presence.
