Dipali Gupta

Dipali Gupta’s art practice is an exploration of societal constructs from the domain of the feminine. Influenced by Foucauldian biopolitics, religious habituations, socio-political constructs, and its psychosomatic effects, Dipali’s experimental works question the normative and strive to reclaim space and meaning. Her concepts usually defy myths of domestication, reproduction, spectatorship, self, and identity. Set amongst Deleuzian societies of control, her practice subverts notions of patriarchy, androcentricity and binarism. Her multi-disciplinary approach re-appropriate less significant genres by layering concepts with artistic and social canons. Her research interests include feminist theory, post humanism, the body and identity politics. Dipali has been awarded the Marian Treger Fellowship for Enduring Creativity, 2025 at Virginia Centre for Creative Arts, USA. She was nominated finalist for The Sovereign Asian Art Prize, 2022 and is the winner of the prestigious Chan Davies Art Prize, 2018. Her series titled ‘Her Pleasure’ examine contemporary notions of female sexuality and explore the concept of the assemblage and Donna Haraway’s cyborg.
