The
sculpture titled "Bholenath" stands as a captivating fusion of South
Asian iconographic elements. Gupta's creation serves as a manifestation of Lord
Shiva, drawing inspiration from multiple cultural sources. Incorporating motifs
such as the crescent moon and the serpent, Gupta pays homage to the rich
symbolism of Hindu iconography. Simultaneously, the sculpture's serene and
contemplative facial features reflect the profound influence of Zen Buddhism's
philosophical ideals. In the sculpture, Gupta has adeptly integrated a web-like
texture into the depiction of the skin, imbuing it with distinctive features
and elevating its realism. This harmonious blend of cultural motifs creates a
visually captivating and spiritually resonant work of art.
