He has held countless solos of his work in spaces such as the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai; Galerie Leob in Bern, Switzerland; and Parcours des Arts in La Louvesc, France. More recently, an international travelling exhibition took place celebrating his life and works. Organised by the Aryan Art Gallery in New Delhi in 2007, the exhibition toured Mumbai, New Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Raza has partaken in group shows - ‘An Ode to Independence’ at the Apparao Galleries, London; ‘Spirit and Soul’ (Indian Painting Today) in Hong Kong, and ‘Art Musings’ in Mumbai – to name a few.

In 1981, he was honoured with the prestigious Padma Shree by the President of India in recognition of his work.
