About the Item

Anita Roy Chowdhury - Untitled Oil on Canvas 35 x 24 inches, 2009 ( Framed Delivered ) This untitled oil on canvas by Anita Roy Chowdhury (2009) unfolds as a lyrical meditation on nature, memory, and inner rhythm. The composition is vertically oriented, animated by elongated floral forms whose petals open and bend as if moved by a gentle, unseen breeze. Rendered in soft yet expressive brushstrokes, the flowers are not botanical studies but emotional presences—suggestive, fluid, and almost sentient. Interspersed among them are birds and butterflies, delicately implied rather than explicitly defined, lending the painting a dreamlike, transitional quality. The palette—dominated by warm ochres, muted reds, dusky pinks, and soft blues—creates a harmonious interplay between earthiness and light. Chowdhury’s painterly language balances abstraction and figuration, allowing forms to dissolve and re-emerge, much like fleeting thoughts or remembered landscapes. The work evokes a quiet sense of contemplation, where nature becomes a metaphor for fragility, freedom, and the cyclical pulse of life, firmly situating the artist within a poetic modernist sensibility rooted in emotional resonance rather than literal depiction. Style : Her works manifest human figures, nude or draped in different poses and postures, plant and animal forms, elements of landscapes, or still life. She is a nature mystic, a pantheist and essentially a sensual and sensitive visionary. On her brush point she has limitless flexibility. The abstract color field on which her visuals manifest themselves are by and large variegated but her palette is restricted to very few hues. These she uses with a full brush but with a marvelous balance of subtle contrasts. In her painting there is more joy than despair. Her works encompass that area of the mind where words and melodies are fused and are known for the musicality of lines and colors. Her art has a personal idiom that borders between figurative form and abstract idealization. About the Artist and his work : Education: Graduated from the Government College of Art and Craft, Kolkata. Selected Exhibitions : Has participated in major all-India exhibitions. she has had several solo exhibitions.Solo shows include Society of Contemporary Artists gallery, 1962; AIFACS, New Delhi, 1964; Academy of fine Arts, Kolkata, 1964, 1968, 1977, 1980; Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, 1966; Sarala Art Centre, Chennai, 1969; Centre Art Gallery, Kolkata, 1991; Birla Academy of Art and culture, Kolkata, 1995, 1998. she has also participated in various group shows and almost all major All India expositions in the metropolitan cities of India.
