Jogen Chowdhury : Couple

Printed under the close supervision of artist Jogen Chowdhury, ‘Couple’ features his highly emotive and uninterrupted lines with figures having a stylized expression. His works channel the agony and pain, which is an innate part of human existence. The expressions on the figures are enigmatic, suggesting a complex relationship dynamic.

Born in 1939 in Faridpur, Jogen Chowdhury completed his graduation in Fine Art from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Kolkata (1960), where he received a gold medal in watercolour painting. He later studied in France from 1965 to 1967 on a Government Scholarship at Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris.
