Subodh Gupta, a famous contemporary artist in India. His works are in multiple

forms, such as installation, sculpture, painting, acting, etc. The first job he got which had

connection witch arts was he joined one of the four small theatre groups which in

Khagaul. He did five years actor and drew the poster for the theatre at that time. After

that, he went to the College of Art which in Patna for study. At that time, he got a part-

time job which is the newspaper designer and illustrator. He got the BFA from his school

at 1964; he got a permanent job by a newspaper, then he tried to apply for a

government-sun imitative scholarship. He was fortunate, he got the money and got a

place in the Garhi Studios.

He is good to use the objects which we can always see in our daily life. He uses the

thousands of metal boxes, pans, bicycles to do his work. He makes the life in India clear

to know by international. Those works made he became famous. He want to give those

objects a new definition, let them become to the art. The Guardian called him 'the

Damien Hirst of Delhi. He thought he is the symbol of the cultural history.

I thought his works are amazing by a mix many things together. So I try to add that

way on my building design which piles up a group of stuff to build the buildings.
