In Jogen Chowdhury's drawing, the assertive use of cross-hatching unleashes energy, vividly portraying the human form in a distorted pose. The central figure, back turned, twists its neck in an unnatural feat, defying conventional anatomy. Set amidst two male figures and a horse, the composition pulsates with controlled chaos. Chowdhury's mastery of cross-hatching captures the dynamic vitality coursing through the subjects, challenging viewers to embrace the audacious distortion that blurs the lines between reality and artistic interpretation. This intense artwork is a testament to Chowdhury's ability to encapsulate the essence of human dynamism.
