December 2–8, 2025
Mumbai, India | December 3, 2025 : Zen Crafart a young and committed art company
in India, proudly announces the opening of SACRED GESTURES, a
striking solo exhibition by acclaimed contemporary
artist Viveek Sharma, inaugurated today by renowned novelist, author and
columnist Shobhaa De at Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda,
Mumbai.
The exhibition will run from 2–8 December 2025,
daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The Mumbai showcase follows the
successful completion of Sharma’s New Delhi exhibition Silence Please,
which received exceptional appreciation from art patrons, collectors and
cultural influencers. With this exhibition Zen Crafart, further
marks an important moment in its commitment to showcasing powerful voices
shaping India’s artistic landscape.
Sacred Gestures presents
a visually compelling body of work that redefines femininity through a dynamic
blend of traditional references and contemporary visual language. Drawing from
Lavani-inspired movement, divine feminine symbolism, and iconic motifs from
popular culture, Sharma creates vivid, emotionally charged works marked by his
signature dramatic lighting, saturated hues, and meticulous detail. The
exhibition celebrates realism, rhythm, sensuality, mythology, and the enduring
force of feminine energy.
Speaking at the opening, Chief Guest of
the event- Ms. Shobhaa De, shares her admiration for Viveek
Sharma’s artistic evolution, she adds: “Viveek’s artistic journey is one
I have followed with admiration for many years. His new body of work, Sacred
Gestures, honours the feminine with a tenderness and strength that deeply
resonates with me. Viveek’s women are not mere subjects — they are powerful
presences, embodiments of resilience, grace, and inner fire. As someone who has
long championed women’s voices and empowerment, I find his portrayal a powerful
testament to his maturity and intuition. Each work resonates with emotion,
discipline, and quiet strength. It is a joy and a privilege to support an
artist whose voice continues to deepen and inspire.”
Artist Viveek Sharma
continues to push the boundaries of contemporary Indian art, bringing together
emotion, form, and storytelling with remarkable mastery. Sharing his
excitement, Rashmin Majithia, Partner at Zen Crafart LLP, says: “For
many years, the Zen Group has been my family’s way of giving back to society
through creative and cultural initiatives such as Coconut Media Box, Zen Music
and Zen Opus. ZenCrafart’s association with Viveek Sharma has been since quite
some time and a meaningful one, and we have had the privilege of supporting his
artistic journey over the years. After a successful presentation of Silence
Please at Delhi, we are really excited to bring this show for our Mumbai
audiences.
According to a 2023–24 report, modern artists continue
to dominate sales, while the pre-modern and contemporary segments are
witnessing significant growth at approximately 31.5 percent and 31.8 percent.
Rising interest in mid-career and emerging artists indicates a maturing market
that balances legacy and innovation. The price bracket between ₹5 lakh and ₹25
lakh remains the fastest-growing collector segment, signalling expanded
participation and increased confidence.
Commenting on this shift, Majithia explains, “The
Indian art market continues to mature, supported by cultural significance,
consistent price performance, and growing collector confidence. Younger
collectors, design-forward buyers, corporate patrons, and premium gifting
audiences are bringing fresh energy, driving demand for sculptures,
installations, and limited editions. The market is evolving into a more diverse
and immersive space.”
