Featured Highlights

Nasreen Mohamedi – Untitled (Pen and Ink on Paper, 24" x 22")
A pioneering abstractionist, Mohamedi’s minimalist lines explore rhythm, silence, and structure. Her work in Legacy & Beyond represents the meditative geometry and discipline that defined her artistic philosophy — purity of thought rendered through the precision of ink.

F. N. Souza – Untitled (Ink on Paper, 11" x 8.5", 1983)
Souza’s distinctive figuration and raw expressionism bring psychological depth to form. This ink study captures his characteristic tension between beauty and distortion, intellect and instinct — a window into the artist’s enduring critique of human complexity.
Badri Narayan – “A Pot of Flowers” (Mixed Media on Paper, 22" x 22")
Evocative and poetic, this composition blends mythology and metaphor. Narayan’s figures exist in a timeless world — part dream, part folklore — revealing a gentle narrative about connection, offering, and the human condition.
The exhibition will be inaugurated by Dr. Sanjay Bhide, Founder of the Trans Asian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, on 7th October 2025 at 5:30 PM.

Curatorial Vision
Under the curation of Mrs. Kirti Kumar Gaikwad, Legacy & Beyond transcends generational boundaries. The exhibition is both a homage and a dialogue — between the voices of the past and the visionaries of the present. It invites viewers to witness how the language of form, colour, and idea has evolved while remaining rooted in an enduring quest for identity and meaning.
