April 27: Echoes of Past and Future, a landmark group exhibition of modern and contemporary Indian art, opened with an exclusive preview on April 24 at Divine Art Gallery. The exhibition is now open to the public and will run until May 10, 2026.
The exhibition brings together an exceptional lineup of celebrated Indian modernists, including S. H. Raza, Ram Kumar, F. N. Souza, Krishen Khanna, Sunil Das, A. Ramachandran, Paramjit Singh, Anjolie Ela Menon, Manu Parekh, and Himmat Shah, among others. The show also features works by senior contemporary artists such as Yusuf and Ashok Bhowmick.
Spanning paintings, drawings, and sculptures, the exhibition creates a compelling dialogue between different periods and practices in Indian art. By juxtaposing works of modern masters with those of later generations, the show highlights both continuity and transformation in artistic expression.
The exhibition presents a rich interplay of styles and sensibilities—from the contemplative figures of Anjolie Ela Menon to the vibrant landscapes of Manu Parekh, alongside the tactile sculptural forms of Himmat Shah—offering visitors a multi-dimensional visual experience.
