Twelve recent paintings by SH Raza, who has been painting for nearly 70 years now, are on display at the show, SH Raza: Pyas, in the Grosvenor Vadehra art gallery in london. “The exhibition which began on June 2 has received a phenomenal response. Two of his most appreciated works have been Yoni and Bindu. Although Raza could not attend the opening of the exhibition due to his ailing health, Conor Macklin, the director of Grosvenor Vadehra, attended the event which witnessed a major turnout of spectators,” said Suresh Nigam from Vadehra Art Gallery.
Raza is among the pioneers of the modern art movement in India. He co-founded the Progressive Artist’s Group in 1947 in Bombay with FN Souza, MF Husain and KH Ara.
The exhibition showcases some of his latest works portraying the artist’s long-held aesthetic ideals, the paintings that reflect his strong connection with India and its heritage. “Raza is India’s greatest living artist and rightly holds a place as one of the pioneers of modern art in India. Raza is an artist whose works are in constant demand and we expect strong interests from both Indian and Western buyers,” said Macklin.
