Event Description : Rumination of An Unfettered Mind, solo show by Laxmi Gupta.

This series represents a transcendence of our perceived reality, a freedom from our self inflicted shackles. Given any circumstance, our minds can wander, roam the earth, venture into untraversed realms and even dance with the Gods.These works in mixed media on paper have a predominance of pen and ink. The pen allows me a sense of control whereas the free flowing nature of the inks affords a life of its own, a balance of yin and yang. I am excited to invite you to view the series.
