LOL
On till: January 10
Where: Palette Art Gallery
Timings: 11 am to 7 pm
Through his solo show of paintings and sculptures, LOL, Manil Gupta explores various media. He attempts to portray a state of 'disillusioning amusement at the revelations of life'. He demonstrates very lucidly the various facets of every worldly thing. This aspect can be very well traced out through this set of works, which have been stripped of colour and the artist's emphasis being on other attribute such as form, texture and depth, which further leads to an optical play. The acronym 'LOL', which is a part of the popular lingo, has a different connotation for the artist. He emphatically translates it as the 'laboratory of life'. Hence, this fresh body of works revolves around this ideology.

Funny, ain't it? Works from LOL
