Mumbai: Ranbir Kapoor awoke his inner artist, and brought out his colour pencils to sketch one of the most colourful artworks we’ve seen, for charity. The actor, along with other famous international celebrities will have their work on display in Dubai this week.
According to a report in Gulf News, prints (not originals) of 25 celebrity artworks will be showcased at the inaugural World Art Dubai, an art fair at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from Wednesday. 20 of the pieces were created for the Whatever It Takes initiative that will use the funds raised through the sale of the celebrity artworks for charitable projects worldwide.

Other artworks that will be on display include those of George Clooney, Katy Perry, Daniel Craig, Penelope Kapoor, and Nicole Kidman to name a few.
Trixie LohMirmand, senior vice president of exhibitions and events management at DWTC, was quoted as saying, “The most striking aspect of the collection is how the celebrities’ personalities shine through in their works. No limitations were imposed and the artists had free rein to create works reflecting their own responses to the project’s principal themes. Some chose peace and unity, others opted for love and hope, and others veered towards a more environmentalist take on the themes — it is a very visceral and heart-warming exhibit.”
