In support of charity

Veteran actress and politician Shabana Azmi, legendary screenwriter Javed Akhtar and internationally renowned star of stage and screen, Kabir Bedi, hosted a showcase of Indian imagery at the Four Seasons in Yorkville in support of the charitable foundation.

The evening featured a silent auction of works by renowned Canadian contemporary artists — Viktor Mitic and Yusuf.

Mitic, who has made headlines with his controversial gun paintings and has earned fans of his work that include current and former Prime Ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chretien, showcased his coveted paintings of Gandhi and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan.

Yusuf unveiled a series of ‘Indian Icons’ created specifically for this auction — a style he referred to as ‘Post- Neoism’.
