The diversity of new media art in India added yet another feather to its cap with the official unveiling of "Line of Control", a monumental steel sculpture, by the country's leading contemporary artist Subodh Gupta at the South Court Mall in Saket,New Delhi,India.That was a good piece of artistic creativity displayed at Kiran Nadar Museum of Art,DLF on April 20,2012.
It is made of stainless steel kitchen utensils and culinary equipment like plates, bowls, ladles, spoons, tiffin boxes, sieves and saucers.Subodh Gupta the man behind making this giant sized sculpture has been using this deviant art practice of using these steel objects for over two decades.Each artist has his or her own uncanny style of presenting their art work which is the outcome of their burning passion.
That passion fuels in to coming up with something unique and later turns out to become a masterpiece in itself.
The sculpture resembles that of a giant mushrom cloud with a base .Each art work symbolises something different yet purposeful which the artist precisely conveys it through his work.This one was also not new to the concept and reflected our country's troubled borders and the tough times we live in.This was probably Subodh Gupta wanted to convey that there existed cold war with our neighbours and the relations do not seem fruitful to either side.Each has their vested interest and our borders are not really safe enough. It is the people living in the nation whose peace and well being are at stake due to the existing unrest with the neighbouring countries.
