This artwork is part of a series by Ashu Gupta titled “Dialogues”, that depict a range of emotions, ideas, inner thoughts, and feelings. The contemporary artist chooses different subjects, delving into their consciousness and bringing to life their internal dialogues. Showcasing breathtaking detailing in her work, Ashu uses the intricacy of her chosen techniques to make a poignant statement about the complexity of human thought, dreams and desires that are often unspoken.
Through an arresting composition, Ashu comments on the paradox of modern relationships, specifically as experienced by two people of the opposite sex. In “Perspective”, two arms, outstretched towards each other but tragically out of reach, represent the distance that remains even between two people who share every aspect of their lives with one another. The men’s thoughts, represented in blue, suggest an entirely different perspective from the women’s, whose thoughts are accentuated in red. In addition to text, Ashu employs the meticulous circle pattern, offering a visceral sense of texture to the work.
