Sunil Gupta at the Aberdeen Art Gallery

14th March 2010 - 15th May 2010

The New Pre-Raphaelites is an exhibition of works by photographer, curator and writer Sunil Gupta. On display are photographs from two recent series – Mr. Malhotra’s Party (2007) and the New Pre-Raphaelites (2008-09). The works explore issues of identity, gender and sexuality, subjects that have occupied Gupta over a large part of his career. Several works by the artist provide an autobiographical account of his experience with homosexuality and since his diagnosis in 1995, with HIV. This includes the series Exiles (1986) giving visibility to gay men in India, From Here to Eternity (1999) and Homelands (2001-03), in part a response to his own diagnosis with AIDS. Gupta has worked with his own body in some works and in others he photographs other homosexual men and women. Living between London and New Delhi, Gupta has been in the forefront of the gay rights movement in India.
