Jauhar Das Gupta | Untitled | Mixed Media on Paper | 19.4 x 29.1 inches | 2026
Jauhar Das Gupta’s Untitled (2026) is a delicate yet visually engaging mixed-media work on paper that captures a quiet moment of intimacy between two figures. The composition shows a seated woman embracing another figure from behind, their bodies gently overlapping to create a sense of closeness, comfort and affection. The figures are defined through flowing contours and intricate floral patterns that extend across their clothing and limbs, giving the work a distinctive decorative character.
The patterned garments contrast beautifully with the relatively open background, where a flowering plant, a table and softly suggested curtains create the feeling of a simple domestic interior. The artist’s precise black linework gives the scene a graphic clarity, while the repeated floral motifs bring rhythm and movement across the composition. The relaxed gestures and intertwined forms make the work feel warm and personal, suggesting a moment of companionship rather than a staged portrait. There is a charming balance between the everyday and the imaginative here—an ordinary interior transformed through pattern, line and careful observation.
