Chittrovanu Mazumdar

Chittrovanu Mazumdar is a contemporary Indian artist of BengaliIndian and French descent. Mazumdar has been described as a conceptual artist and a poststructuralist 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 viewers own experience rather than constrained by the prescriptive power of labels.

Chittrovanu Mazumdar was born into a racially and culturally mixed family of artists and scholars. His mother Marguerite Mazumdar was French and his father, Nirode Mazumdar, a stalwart of 20th Century Indian Modern art and a founding member of the Calcutta Group, was Bengali Indian. Noted painter and art educator Shanu Lahiri and renowned Bengali novelist Kamal Kumar Majumdar were his paternal aunt and uncle, respectively.
