Founder Bio
Short: Vishal Gupta leads the studio's artistic and fabrication direction, with a practice centred on material transformation and mechanical rhythm.
Long: Vishal Gupta is a New Delhi-based kinetic sculptor and the founder of Hookkapaani Studio. Working in steel, resin and found industrial material, he builds sculptures whose mechanisms are part of the artwork — engineered to be serviced, not sealed. The studio's 38 works range from tabletop pieces to a 17 ft bull, and its commissions include a suspended kinetic installation for a 9-floor corporate atrium, delivered in 14 weeks, and a three-work motion series for a contemporary gallery programme.
