Reviews
"Gupta gives his images a subtle erotic charge and a genuine tenderness."
--The New Yorker
"One of the principal threads that weave through Sunil Gupta's nearly four decades of artistic production is the investigation of gay public space, pursued across different communities and continents."
--Fotofest
"[Gupta's] subjects face the camera directly, as though challenging those who oppose them. Their expressions are powerful and moving."
--Photograph
"Indian artist Sunil Gupta's work explores notions of gender, sexuality and community...[it is] a fascinating examination of culture and the public space."
--Slate
"Singh's portraits are made in dialogue with the history of Indian photography, back to the stately portraits of the British Raj, and continuing through to today's Bollywood starlets."
