Field Notes (on the Afterlife of Trees), the debut solo of emerging artist Vishal Kumar Gupta, presents a significant body of oil paintings, watercolour drawings, and graphite works—a practice shaped through accumulation, fragmentation, and sustained acts of looking.

Through careful accumulation and sustained observation, he focuses on fragments of the natural world often seen as incidental—a fallen twig, a gnarled branch, a weathered tree stump. In his practice, these discarded forms are transformed. They become monumental, not merely as decorative motifs, but as powerful witnesses holding memories of time, growth, and decay.
