An unforgettable evening at ShowKeen—an exhibition celebrating modern and contemporary Indian art. Last night unfolded like a vibrant canvas, layered with creativity, stories, and timeless expressions, as glimpses of Ananta Mandal’s evocative paintings illuminated the preview of ShowKeen, presented by AstaGuru.It was a true confluence of minds—artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts all coming together in one inspiring space.It was an honor to share this inspiring art event with Karan Johar, Tina Ambani, Gauri Khan, Harsh Goenka, Adar Poonawalla, Jay Mehta, Parvez Damania, Farah Khan, Manish Malhotra, Yash Birla, Bobby Deol, Kabir Khan and many more.

Set within the elegant art gallery of the Nehru Centre, Mumbai, this extraordinary showcase brings together a curated constellation of Indian art legends and contemporary masters. From the bold strokes of M. F. Husain, the poetic darkness of Ganesh Pyne, and the abstract meditations of Ram Kumar, to the vibrant narratives of Paresh Maity and the iconic symbolism of S. H. Raza—each artwork stands as a testament to the ever-evolving language of Indian art. Alongside them, the exhibition also features works by revered names such as Manu Parekh, Thota Vaikuntham, Anjolie Ela Menon, C. D. Mistry, Krishen Khanna, Vinod Sharma, Ananta Mandal and many more.
