Suman Gupta from Jammu translates the surroundings in perfect proportions like a photo realist. But into his works he adds a small element of surrealism with a play of light on the faces of his subjects. Suman Gupta\'s felicity with his palette is more an accomplishment that makes his works succinct, and simple to read and understand. The realization of these paintings down to the last photographic detail has a directness of expression that shows through the symbolism and references which might layer the viewer’s experience of the painted spaces.
