Sumanto Chowdhury is a young and upcoming artist who lives and works in Hyderabad. His semi-realistic drawings are inspired by the nature and architecture of villages around Hyderabad.
In his paintings, the artist portrays urban and rural landscapes. He captures the interplay of the inside-outside urban landscape where the chaos outside the window is in sync with the world inside the window. The artist uses coloured pencils, pen, watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media to depict the urban landscape. The same method of madness that is found in his urban structure gets a different interpretation when it comes to rural architecture. The artist's attention to detail right to the filigree work on the window and the décor of the architecture shows his inspiration from the Mughal miniature style.
He studied painting at the famous Kala Bhavana Visva Bharati, Santiniketan, and completed his master's in printmaking from Hyderabad. He honed his skills further by working under the famous Indian contemporary artist Laxma Goud for many years.
