The Indian art scene is set for a bustling April 2026 with a series of high-profile exhibitions across major cities like Delhi and Mumbai. Key highlights include Subodh Gupta’s monumental installations at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, a photographic tribute to Bombay by Raghubir Singh at Jhaveri Contemporary, and the public viewing of Raja Ravi Varma’s iconic 'Yashoda and Krishna' at the ShowKeen exhibition. These shows span a diverse range of media, from Akanksha Patil’s introspective narratives on migration to Laila Khan Furniturewalla’s raw, expressive paintings.
This surge of activity underscores the continued growth and vibrancy of the South Asian contemporary art market. By featuring both globally established figures like Gupta and Singh alongside emerging voices, these exhibitions reflect a regional focus on identity, materiality, and the intersection of traditional philosophy with modern practice. The inclusion of the Poonawala-owned Ravi Varma masterpiece further highlights the significance of private patronage and the enduring prestige of Indian modernism in the current cultural landscape.
