Mayur Gupta

Mayur Kailash Gupta is a multidisciplinary sculptor based in Baroda whose work is deeply rooted in Tantra philosophy, ancient Indian architecture, and existential inquiry. Drawing from childhood memories and his mother’s artisanal skills, he transforms materials such as wood, metal, stone, and paper pulp into contemplative sculptures. His practice delves into themes of human relationships, silence, and impermanence. With over three decades of experience teaching architecture, Gupta seamlessly integrates spatial dynamics with sculptural fluidity. His work reflects Hindu philosophical concepts while remaining open-ended, fostering a dialogue between the material and the intangible—a meditation on existence and transformation.

He completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s in Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda (1982–1989). He has participated in various symposiums and camps, including the Samudra Artist’s Camp in Vishakhapatnam (2023), ASEAN-India Artist Camp in Udaipur (2022), and the International Bronze Casting Symposium in Baroda (2010). He has received notable awards such as the Charles Wallace India Trust Fellowship, UK (1997), Bombay Art Society Award (1991), and Gujarat Lalit Kala State Award (1986).

His solo exhibitions include ‘Measured Meters’ at SITE Art Space, Baroda (2015); Aicon Gallery in Palo Alto, CA (2008); and exhibitions at Pundole & Prithvi Gallery, Mumbai (1995–2007). His selected group exhibitions include India Design with LATITUDE 28, New Delhi (2025); ‘Alchemy of matter,’ Lexicon art gallery at Bikaner House (2025); Baroda ‘Annuelle IV’ at Gallery White (2025), hub 11 at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Baroda (2024), and several exhibitions in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, New York, and South Africa (1990–2011).
