Nature takes centre stage in Botanical Bliss, a solo exhibition by Himachal-born artist R.K. Gupta, whose latest body of work transforms reclaimed Sheesham and Kikar wood into richly textured contemporary artworks. Rather than working on traditional canvases, Gupta paints directly on natural tree slabs, preserving their live edges and organic forms before finishing them with a high-gloss resin surface. Butterflies, botanical motifs and folk-inspired patterns emerge across each piece, creating works that blur the line between painting and sculpture. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful cultural outing in Delhi, this thoughtfully curated exhibition offers a refreshing alternative to the city’s busier weekend attractions.
