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.

Shashank Sharma's Edinburgh debut comes with a bigger message about representation

Highlights

  • Shashank Sharma makes his Edinburgh Fringe debut with The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of.
  • The partially blind actor believes disabled performers should be cast across all genres, not just disability-focused stories.
  • He says greater accessibility benefits both audiences and artists, and should become the industry standard.

Making his Edinburgh Fringe debut this year is a milestone Shashank Sharma has long worked towards. For the actor, however, the festival is about more than stepping onto one of theatre's biggest stages. It is also an opportunity to champion a simple idea: disabled actors should be seen for their talent first, with disability becoming just one part of who they are rather than the defining feature of every role.

Speaking to Eastern Eye, Sharma reflected on his journey into acting, the importance of accessible theatre and why he hopes the industry moves beyond casting disabled performers only in stories about disability.
