Description
Jogen Chowdhury possesses a distinctive and iconic style that combines irony, sensuality, and modernity. Educated in Kolkata and Paris, his art effortlessly bridges Eastern and Western influences while maintaining his resolute individuality. Like Satyajit Ray, Chowdhury represents a generation of confident and liberal Indians who embrace a modern Indian idiom. While influenced by Western modernism, he creatively applies his indigenous sensibilities, making him one of the foremost artists of post-independent India. This book, published for his second major solo exhibition at CIMA Gallery, captures some of Chowdhury’s recent ideas, concerns, and artistic vision through the diligent research and sincere reflections of Rita Dutta, providing a rare glimpse into the artistic endeavors of Jogen Chowdhury.
