Although he majored in painting, he never limited his attempts to use a variety of materials.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>With regard to the exhibition Title <strong>&#8216;Dreams of Dreamer&#8217;<\/strong>, Gupta said, &#8220;Dreams and Journey have very strong relation with each other, if one showed me target and vision to reach then other showed me way and possibilities to get them. In other words, it is synchronization of inter relation and practice with each other, which furnished in me a level of strength and confidence on which I am walking.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Gupta enjoys traveling. In the past few years, he has visited many places, art places and museums in China. When he first visited China as a traveler, he found a space for imagination and dreams: &#8220;I in my dreams, I use to live at fullest and enjoyed every aspect of it. When again I got the opportunity to fulfill whatever I dreamt, it felt like walking on the clouds and speaking to the moon, as lam about to live my dreams.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The works in this exhibition reflect Dreams and Journeys. &#8220;These works are pure representation of challenges and hurdles i faced off during every stage of the journey.&#8221; Over the years in China, many things have directly and indirectly influenced him: Chinese art and culture, language, calligraphy, and the way of life of the people here. &#8220;Intentionally, I didn&#8217;t try to mix Indian with Chinese element. I leave myself free, but elements naturally influence me and spontaneity takes place in my works&#8221;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<footer class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b7cbc53 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b7cbc53\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e2e6615\" data-id=\"1e2e6615\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ed46d6e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5ed46d6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-105d587c elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-social-media\" data-id=\"105d587c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-social-media.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t\t <ul class=\"ekit_social_media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-b9079e5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/shatrudhan.gupta\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"instagram\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-instagram\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-7ba56b0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StudioVERTICAL327SKG\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"square\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-facebook-square\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-4e42f77\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shatrudhankgupt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"square\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter-square\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-a3be82f\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shatrudhan-k-gupta-\u53e4\u5df4\u5854-47b156a7\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"linkedin\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-909a90e\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCcXfC2-ZVDEO85_JUM-qzcA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"square\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-youtube-square\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64d3d3b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64d3d3b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a9\ufe0f 2022 Shatrudhan K.
