Patna’s Bihar Museum has inaugurated a dedicated exhibition featuring the oeuvre of celebrated Indian painter Krishen Khanna. The show brings together a selection of his paintings, allowing visitors to experience the evolution of his artistic language over decades.
Krishen Khanna, a recipient of the Padma Shri and a senior figure in contemporary Indian art, is known for his nuanced use of colour and form. Curators have highlighted works that illustrate his departure from conventional techniques, reflecting the exhibition’s theme of “painting outside the lines.”
The museum’s cultural wing expects the exhibition to attract art enthusiasts, students and the general public, offering insight into Khanna’s contribution to modern Indian painting. Entry to the exhibition is included with the museum’s regular ticket, and it will remain on view for several weeks.
