Laxmi Gupta’s work takes the viewer again to an unhurried, gentler and calmer time.As she places it, “All art is borne out of a way of compulsion and I’m that.” For me, her work invoked a way of craving, greater than the rest. The want to the touch and maintain tenderly these delicate flowers, that are fragile and will wilt beneath the gentlest strain.
