NISHTA GUPTA & PICO DOS SANTOS-LEE
”YOU ARE ITCHY”
Gupta’s artworks follow the Fluxus tradition of playfully bridging the boundaries between art, performance, and music. Gupta incorporates elements of chance and abstraction in her mixed media sketches, aesthetically inspired by the work of Cy Twombly. These drawings, or ‘event scores,’ were given to two musicians, Pico Dos Santos-Lee and Peta Pyrgiotis, who improvised musical compositions that naturally flowed from viewing the art. In turn, Gupta deeply listened to their aural experimentations to continually revise her drawings as well as create new work.
