“Soulmate” features over 20 artists, bringing together masterpieces by legendary Indian modernists, works by celebrated contemporary figures, and fresh expressions from emerging talents. Each artwork in this showcase has been handpicked by Renu Khera over her extensive career, reflecting her unwavering passion for nurturing and celebrating creativity.
Among the luminaries featured are M.F. Husain, S.H. Raza, Ram Kumar, B. Prabha, A. Ramachandran, Krishen Khanna, G.R. Iranna, Manu Parekh, and Shanti Dave. The exhibition also includes a special focus on Balu Jivya Mashe, son of the late Padma Shri awardee Jivya Soma Mashe, who brought Warli art to international recognition. Balu’s works continue this vibrant legacy, weaving rural life, nature, and spirituality into compelling visual narratives.
The exhibition spans paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works, creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity. It underscores Renu Khera’s vision of Indian art as a living soulmate—an emotional, cultural, and spiritual companion.
Renu Khera says “I have always believed that art is a soulmate – a companion that mirrors our innermost thoughts, emotions, and journeys. Over the years, these works have become extensions of my own spirit, collected with love and curated to inspire others. ‘Soulmate’ is my invitation to the world to connect with the timeless beauty and evolving narrative of Indian art.”
