In this drawing by Jogen Chowdhury, a man is depicted lying on his side, his visible ribs and neck contorted at an uncomfortable angle towards his body. Chowdhury's art is a powerful exploration of themes charged by the chaos of modern times, addressing inhumanity, wars, atrocities, and the evolving relationships between humans and nature. The composition captivates with its intriguing portrayal of figures that are disproportionate, fluid, and unrealistically flexible, resembling succulent, ripened fruits. Chowdhury's profound exploration of the human psyche renders his art not only timeless but remarkably relevant in the present-day scenario.
