// This untitled photograph by Subodh Gupta, taken in 2006, captures an iconic image of a black taxi in India, likely a Hindustan Ambassador, with cardboard boxes tied on the roof. The doors of the car are open, inviting a sense of halted motion or transition, and the yellow and black taxi, with its classic design, evokes the everyday life and unique charm of Indian streets. Gupta’s work often explores themes of migration, cultural identity, and the intersections between tradition and modernity. By focusing on a common object laden with cargo, he reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness embedded in daily life. Limited to an edition of just 5, this photograph encapsulates Gupta's fascination with the symbolic power of ordinary objects within Indian culture.

What is Hyper-realism?
Hyperrealism is a genre of sculpture and painting that closely resembles high-resolution photographs. It is an evolution of Photorealism and is often applied to an independent art style or movement that became prominent in Europe and the United States in the early 2000s. Hyperrealist artists focus on extreme detail and precision, creating works that are often indistinguishable from real-life images.
