Dhoomimal Art Centre is delighted to announce an exhibition showcasing the illustrious ‘Calcutta Painters,’ a distinguished collective of artists originating from Kolkata. This event marks a momentous sixty-year journey, during which the group has played a pivotal role in shaping the modern art landscape of India.

Pioneers of Visionary Art

Established in 1964, the ‘Calcutta Painters’ stand as a testament to visionary artists committed to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Their dedication to nurturing the growth of art and artists domestically, while making significant contributions to the global art community, remains unwavering. Currently, Mr. Jogen Chowdhury serves as the president, with Mr. Sudip Banerjee holding the position of vice president within the group.

Shaping Avant-Garde Narratives

Emerging from the vibrant art scene of New Delhi, this esteemed collective has been a cornerstone in shaping the avant-garde art narrative in India. The artistic ethos and approach, initially championed by luminaries like Bijon Chowdhury, Rabin Mandal, Prakash Karmakar, and Nikhil Biswas, continue to resonate even after six decades. In celebration of this remarkable journey, Dhoomimal Art Centre is thrilled to present an exhibition featuring the works of the group’s current members, paying homage to the enduring legacy established by its founding visionaries.

Exploring the Art of Jogen Chowdhury

One of the showcasing artists is Mr. Jogen Chowdhury, widely acknowledged as the master of unbroken lines. The drawings in the exhibit feature female figures intriguingly devoid of sexuality or provocative postures. Vulnerability emanates through textured skin and lucid lines, showcasing the artist’s unique approach. The deliberate confinement within a smaller space reflects Chowdhury’s admiration for humans and nature. This brief captures the essence of thought-provoking and distinctly crafted artwork, where vulnerability meets unconditional portrayal, creating a vivid and impactful narrative.
