策展人Deeksha Nath的陈述：
    韦德•古普塔（Ved Gupta）从故乡比哈尔邦（Bihar）来到巴罗达（Baroda）学习艺术，建立了自己的语言，表达对自己亲身经历的官僚机构的腐败与印度经济的高速发展同时存在的财富的极端悬殊的失望情绪。因为不加抑制的权利而导致的贪婪、腐败和压迫的主题渗透在韦德的每幅作品当中。

    韦德拥有一个深思熟虑的、加以限制的雕塑词汇表。他的雕塑形态之旅将他从陶瓷带到赤陶的制作，而他现在用玻璃钢创作自己的人和物。他用颜料突出雕塑的特色，但是他最关注的是通过雕刻出一个自我空间，排挤其他一切的存在；创造出一种三维空间以及寻找到与观众直接对话的方式。

Curatorial statement by Deeksha Nath
Ved Gupta traveled from his native state Bihar to Baroda to study art and develop a language to express his frustration with the corruption of the bureaucratic machinery he experienced first hand, the extreme disparities in wealth that exist alongside the upbeat note of India’s economic development. The themes of gluttony, corruption, and oppression caused by unchecked power are pervasive in Ved’s work. 
Ved has a deliberately limited sculpture vocabulary. His journey of sculpted form has taken him from ceramics to terracotta and he now uses fiberglass to construct his figures and objects. He uses paint to highlight sculptural features but his primary preoccupation is with three-dimensional form and the ways in which it speaks directly to the viewer, by carving out a space for itself and invading the presence of the other.
