Overview
Sumanto Chowdhury (Born in 1979, West Bengal) is an acclaimed contemporary artist known for his dynamic exploration of rural, urban, and suburban landscapes. A graduate of Kala Bhavana, Visva Bharati, Santiniketan, and with a Master's in Fine Arts (Graphic) from S.N.

His art draws inspiration from architectural forms and Indian miniature paintings, showcasing intricate details both in interiors and exteriors. Notably, his vibrant use of colors—pink, blue, red, yellow, and emerald green—creates symbolic narratives that evoke a sense of place, often devoid of human figures yet rich with their implied presence.
