About DBpedia

Chittrovanu Mazumdar (born 13 October 1956) is a contemporary Indian artist of Bengali-Indian and French descent. Mazumdar has been described as a "conceptual artist" and a "post-structuralist" while some critics consider it difficult to classify his oeuvre into a single artistic tradition or even into any consistent genre of his own. Mazudmar has referred to himself as an "expressionist painter" but has also said he generally prefers not to use "a particular word to qualify" his work because it comprises different kinds of media and forms, and that art is more interesting when fully given over to the viewer's own experience rather than constrained by the prescriptive power of labels.

dbo:abstract Chittrovanu Mazumdar (born 13 October 1956) is a contemporary Indian artist of Bengali-Indian and French descent. Mazumdar has been described as a "conceptual artist" and a "post-structuralist" while some critics consider it difficult to classify his oeuvre into a single artistic tradition or even into any consistent genre of his own. Mazudmar has referred to himself as an "expressionist painter" but has also said he generally prefers not to use "a particular word to qualify" his work because it comprises different kinds of media and forms, and that art is more interesting when fully given over to the viewer's own experience rather than constrained by the prescriptive power of labels. Born in Paris, Mazumder spent most of his childhood in Kolkata and in a remote area in rural Jharkhand. He received his initial art education from his father, the renowned Indian Modernist painter Nirode Mazumdar (1916 –1982) and later, at the Calcutta Government College of Art & Craft. He first rose to prominence as a painter in the 1980s and 1990s and transitioned to installation work in the mid to late 1990s. He has often collaborated with Seagull Publications to design books and with Kolkata-based theater groups to design performance spaces. As of January 2015, he lives and works primarily in Kolkata and is associated with the 1X1 Gallery in Dubai. Major exhibitions of his work have been presented in Dubai, Kolkata, London, Mumbai, New Delhi, New York, Palo Alto, Paris, Rome, Singapore and Salzburg, among other places. His paintings are housed in the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi and in several private collections internationally. (en) Chittrovanu Mazumdar, né le 13 octobre 1956 à Paris, est un artiste de Calcutta qui fait partie du monde artistique contemporain indien depuis 1985. Une série d'expositions solo de tableaux de grande taille à Calcutta, Delhi et Bombay, entre le milieu des années 1980 et la fin des années 1990, a établi sa réputation pour l'innovation. Son éducation multiculturelle dans une famille d'artistes et d'écrivains à Kolkata et Paris, et son propre tempérament toujours en quête de quelque chose l'ont conduit à développer un vocabulaire et une grammaire de l'art qui puisent à une grande variété de sources et influences esthétiques, littéraires et socioculturelles. Ayant débuté en tant que peintre, Mazumdar a depuis exploré une vaste variété de véhicules et de technologies dans son œuvre. Son art amalgame les acquis de son éducation multiculturelle à Kolkata et à Paris et des lectures éclectiques dans les trois langues – français, anglais et bengali -. Son art est caractérisé par des changements majeurs de style et de forme, de la peinture jusqu'à des environnements multimédia et de la sculpture du son. Ses peintures sont exposées à la Galerie d'Art Moderne de New Delhi et dans de nombreuses collections privées en Inde et à l'étranger. (fr)
