Asha Gulati

I am a Delhi-based experimental artist, registered with the Ministry of Textiles. Though I work with a wide range of media my favoured material and passion is Paper.
While I have been working consistently with the more popular visual art forms like water colour and oil paintings my desire to push boundaries in art have stoked my experiments with other materials. My exploration with several media has led me to paper- a material I relish for. Few are aware of the versatility that paper offers. I have discovered its myriad possibilities through the use of techniques like Origami, Mosaics, Slice forms, layering etc.to give life to my ideas. The medium is not without its challenges but it is precisely these that egged me on to master the material and mould it to realise my concepts.
Art Projects:
As an artist I have conducted solo shows at venues renowned for art exhibitions- Taj Palace Hotel (August 2010), Convention Foyer, IHC (January 2011) Open Palm Court, IHC (Januray2012) Azad Bhawan Gallery, ICCR (March 2011), and the Cabinet Secretary’s Residence, IASOWA (February 2011), Taj Palace Hotel (October 2012). I have also participated in group shows organised by the Savera Association, NGO (May 2010) and the Delhi International Film Festival (December 2012).
My recent participation was in Global Exhibition on Services, ICCR invited me to demonstrate my skills to delegates from 65 countries.
Industry Projects:
I have worked with renowned national and international designers interior designer; RAD, Ms. Sita Nanda and have created art works for residency and luxury hotels. I have developed paper art works for Taj Palace Hotel. My recent project was an origami wall art for the reception of Vivanta by Taj, covering approx. 450 sq. feet wall and for Frazer and Haws.
My works are in collection with Taj Palace Hotel.
I am also working on the possibilities with different materials.
