According to the press release, "Her transition from an industrial and rural landscape to a metropolitan city like New Delhi - the capital of India. The works presented in this exhibition might be strikingly different from one another, however, they resonate with Suparna’s interest in the dynamic nature of urban living." (PR Handout)

It is the hustle–bustle of cars, high-rise buildings and people synchronised in an ever-moving flow or verse, layered with materials that are symbolic of industry and construction. (PR Handout)

Suparna says, "My creations are marvellously kinetic - the paintings are like taking a roller-coaster ride through a space station. Only opens up with the suggestion of architecture to develop multi-layered symphonies of shades of colours, beams of light, long sheets of reflecting surfaces, and staccato harmonies." (PR Handout)

She added, " Gravity is inconsequential in my works." (PR Handout)

Her work reflects floating through space with neither ups nor downs, while people are happy to immerse themselves in their own kaleidoscopic frenzy. (PR Handout)

The speedy development of her present society, surroundings and the vast social communication system reflect in her works. (PR Handout)

Her application of colour is unique, in the sense she is able to create a feeling of movement by combining complementary and contrasting colours within the same visual plane. (PR Handout)

The exhibition sought to capture the idea of modernity, the sensations and aesthetics of speed, movement, and industrial development. (PR Handout)
