The Indian Art Centre is delighted to present Balraj Khanna’s first 3D digital exhibition. Two rooms showcasing 22 works have been specially designed to provide a strong and realistic effect of how paintings could be arranged in traditional and modern interiors. The use of cutting-edge technology allows collectors to have a unique 3D experience in the comfort of their homes. As they scroll through a dazzling panoramic display, they can click on each artwork and a window will pop up on the screen with their descriptions, prices and zoomed photographs allowing a closer inspection. The aim is to make this exclusive exhibition accessible to a large number of collectors, sometimes too busy to attend gallery shows. We also want to give the opportunity to keen collectors to meet the artist and visit his studio. The collection features a mixture of works realised by the artist at different stages of his career. We have selected early and late works, small and large formats and included paintings for all budgets. A highly anticipated series of never-before-seen small format pictures executed in the 1960s and 1970s is offered to collectors for the first time. To make this event even more unique we are offering a list of exclusive bonuses to all buyers. We hope to take you on a journey of your own.

He is a key character in the art world, being an artist, a keen collector, a leading Indian Art expert, curator and published author. He Lectured on Indian art and personal development at Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester Universities, The Royal College, St Martin`s, the South Bank Centre, The Institute of Education, SOAS, MOMA – Oxford, the Hayward Gallery, the Serpentine Gallery, the V&A, the Bradford Museum, the Brighton Museum and other Venues.
