Jogen Chowdhury

This vocal profile by Jogen is eloquent in its minimalism. The contrast of the warm color red and the cold color blue creates a powerfully ambiguous impact on our eyes. The teeth are bared the scar is festering and the cheeks are flushed - sending signals of unresolved anger. But in the double-line work connecting the corner of the eye and the corner of the nose also the eye and the philtrum add a dimensional quality to the otherwise flat portrait accentuated with barely-there shades for modeling. This work is in his signature style before his thick black brushstroke phase.
