From screen to canvas

Actor Nitin Ganatra, known for his roles in EastEnders, Bride & Prejudice, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is embarking on a new artistic chapter with his debut solo exhibition.

Titled Fragments of Belonging, the show marks his transition from performance to painting, presenting a deeply personal series of works at the London Art Exchange in Soho Square on September 27.


Exploring memory and identity

Through abstract forms, bold colour, and layered compositions, Ganatra’s paintings reflect themes of memory, displacement, and cultural inheritance. The exhibition has been described as a “visual diary,” with each piece representing fragments of lived experience shaped by migration and reinvention.

What visitors can expect

The exhibition will showcase original paintings alongside Ganatra’s personal reflections on identity and belonging. The London Art Exchange promises an intimate setting in the heart of Soho, where visitors can engage with the artist’s work and connect with fellow creatives, collectors, and fans.

The event runs from 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM on September 27, and is open to all ages.

Bateman’s: The Indian world hidden inside Kipling’s English retreat

THERE is a great deal of Indian interest at Bateman’s, as became apparent during a three-hour tour of Rudyard Kipling’s home in East Sussex given to Eastern Eye by Hannah Miles, collections and house manager at the National Trust property.

For example, there is a drawing of Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of learning; statues of Ganesha, Brahma, Buddha and other deities; a brass tray depicting the creation, preservation and destruction cycle of life; a fire screen in the bedroom showing Krishna with his Gopis; and drawings, clay figures, plaster reliefs and badges of Mowgli and other much-loved characters from The Jungle Book (which helped Kipling win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907).
