By bringing together both established and rising talents, Present Future captures the essence of an art movement in transition.
The International Creative Arts Centre (ICAC) proudly presents Present Future, a landmark exhibition set to take place from March 11th to 15th, 2025, at Bikaner Huse, Delhi. This exclusive showcase brings together 50 of India’s most celebrated contemporary artists—visionaries whose work is shaping the future of Indian art and who will be recognized as the masters of tomorrow.
Curated by ICAC and featuring the distinguished collection of Ravindra Mardia, Present Future is more than just an exhibition—it is a documentation of India’s evolving artistic landscape. The participating artists have already made their mark on the global stage, are well known, redefining contemporary Indian art with their powerful narratives and innovative techniques.
While the highlight of the exhibition are names that we might be accustomed to hearing around, it also shines a spotlight on a carefully curated selection of emerging artists—those who are already establishing themselves yet are still in the early stages of their artistic journeys. Their compelling works offer a glimpse into the future of Indian art.
This initiative to group emerging and established artists together in Present Future signifies the growing art movement in contemporary India.
Among the leading artists featured are Achuthan Kudallur, Anupam Sud, Avijit Dutta, Bose Krishnamachari, Chandra Bhattacharjee, Jeram Patel, K. Khosa, Manish Pushkale, Niren Sengupta, Prabhakar Kolte, Prem Singh, R B Bhaskaran, Ritu Singh, Seema Kohli, and Sudip Roy.
The exhibition also displays promising emerging artists that are taking the movement forward such as Laxman Gore, Hemant Dhane, Ritu Singh, Pisurwo (Jitendra Suralkar), Manish Rao, and Bhuval Prasad, among others.
The event will open with an exclusive preview for the general audience and will be bringing together artists, collectors, critics, and art enthusiasts for an evening of conversation, appreciation, and celebration of India’s dynamic contemporary art scene.
