Jogen Chowdhury | Untitled | Pen & Ink on Paper | 8.5 x 5.75 inches | 2025
This elegant line drawing portrays a serene feminine figure adorned with ornate floral headwear and traditional jewelry, evoking the grace and spiritual beauty often associated with classical Indian iconography. Rendered with delicate yet confident pen strokes, the artwork captures a quiet emotional depth through its calm expression, symmetrical features, and flowing decorative details.
The simplicity of the monochrome composition allows the viewer to focus on the purity of form and the rhythm of the artist’s hand. The floral crown, soft curls of hair, and embroidered garment create a harmonious balance between tradition and imagination. Though minimal in style, the portrait carries a strong presence, reflecting themes of femininity, divinity, and inner peace.
Its raw, hand-drawn aesthetic gives the artwork an intimate and personal quality, making it ideal for collectors who appreciate expressive figurative works and contemporary interpretations of traditional Indian art forms. Whether displayed in a living space, studio, or gallery wall, the piece radiates warmth, grace, and timeless cultural charm.
Born on 15 February, 1939 in Faridpur (now in Bangladesh), Jogen Chowdhury’s family moved to Calcutta following the partition.
Chowdhury studied art at the Government College of Art and Crafts, Calcutta, and subsequently at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris. A student of Prodosh Das Gupta, Chowdhury worked in the expressionist style of figuration in his early years. He created his own gallery of the grotesque, featuring lewd men with bellies like sacks and women with loose, hanging breasts. The Paris sojourn sharpened his creative thought process, helping in the evolution of his distinctive personal style.
