Collector, consultant, and Bespoke Art Gallery founder Devin Gawarvala presents the latest iteration of his exhibition, Global Treasures. Highlighting Indian as well as international artists, the event fetes heritage, culture, and contemporary art. As one of the younger art collectors from India to work abroad, Devin has brought on a curation that celebrates tradition in culmination with contemporaneity, treating patrons to a unique visual experience.
In the Bespoke Art Gallery, the masses can view a sequence of artworks wherein folklore and memory are combined with fantasy. The exhibition will continue from August 31 through October 7, 2025, daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., showcasing close to 60 works in mixed media, acrylics, textured painting, sculpture, installation, and classic forms, including Pichwai, Tanjore, and Persian-style art.
