ShowKeen 2026: A Landmark Exhibition of Modern and Contemporary Indian Art
Presented by AstaGuru, ShowKeen 2026 brought together some of India’s most iconic Modern and Contemporary artists
Building on its 2025 Mumbai debut and a successful New Delhi showcase in March this year, ShowKeen recently solidified its status as a premier hub for Modern and Contemporary Indian art. The exhibition returned to Mumbai’s Nehru Centre on April 11–12, bringing together a thoughtful mix of artists across generations.
The showcase featured a dialogue between eras, pairing Modern Masters like S.H. Raza, M.F. Husain, and Anjolie Ela Menon with influential Contemporary voices, including Meetali Singh, Tom Vattakuzhy, and Chittrovanu Mazumdar. In a rare highlight, visitors were also able to view and experience Raja Ravi Varma’s legendary Yashoda and Krishna in person.
With its previous editions drawing discerning collectors and sparking meaningful dialogue through panel discussions and engaging walkthroughs, ShowKeen has steadily established itself as a vital meeting ground for India’s art community.
It offers an experience, one that invites visitors to engage, discover, and collect. Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply curious about the world of fine art, this is a rare chance to witness exceptional works that are seldom seen together under one roof.
