Dipali Gupta is a visual artist whose practice explores societal structures from a feminist perspective. Her practice is influenced by the writings of Foucault and Deleuze focusing on theories of pleasure and desire. Working across mediums, Gupta’s practice explores abstraction, eroticism and feminist theory, challenging societal norms around sexuality and identity.
