Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is pleased to present Shilpa Gupta’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, Some suns fell off, on view February 15 through March 29, 2025, and her second show with the gallery. Over the last two and a half decades, Shilpa Gupta has developed a compelling interdisciplinary approach that challenges prevailing notions of individual and collective identity. Through sculpture, installation, sound, and drawing, Gupta explores concepts of nationalism, borderlands, control, and censorship. As regimes with authoritarian tendencies take hold around the world, concurrent with a tightly concentrated media landscape vulnerable to the influence of such power, the concepts of otherness, individual rights and the freedom of expression are especially resonant. Some suns fell off holds a mirror to the world, reflecting the invisible structures that restrict our freedoms. Born in 1976 in Mumbai, Shilpa Gupta currently lives and works in Mumbai, India. The artist graduated with a BFA in sculpture from Sir J. J. School of Fine Art at the University of Mumbai in 1997.
