Jogen Chowdhury's drawing unfolds the enchantment inherent in the mundane aspects of life. His signature technique, employing black ink and cross-hatchings, becomes a metaphor for the artist's own intricate and shadowed experiences, notably shaped by the complexities of the partition era. In this composition, a subtle worm at the bottom, easily overlooked, invites contemplation on Jogen's portrayal of the human form as a vast, irregular landscape. The viewer encounters an unidentified figure with their back turned, a deliberate choice that adds an air of mystery and anonymity to the narrative.
