Biography: Chowdhury's formal training in art started in 1955 at Government College of Art and Craft. He went to Paris in 1965 to study at Ecole des Beaux Arts and in William Hayter's Atelier 17. He developed a very unique style of his own after returning from France and since then worked extensively with ink, water colour and pastel. The flowing line contouring flabby figures of men and women in provocative poses form a distinct characteristic feature in Chowdhury's style. The power and beauty of his technique lies in his use of colour to give volume to the figures and the fluidity of lines to depict sensuality of the forms. In 1975, he along with some leading artists Delhi founded Gallery 26 and Artist's Forum. He has participated in several exhibitions in India and abroad and his works are kept as a collection with several connoisseurs of art.
