Sumanto Chowdhury is an artist who paints the landscapes of memory the gardens, fields, and roads he has carried since childhood in West Bengal. Born in 1979 in Murshidabad and trained at Santiniketan and the University of Hyderabad under master printmaker Laxma Goud, his work emerges from nostalgia for rural and suburban India. His paintings render the lush outskirts of his hometown with colour, miniature techniques, and mixed media auto rickshaws, couples on scooters, gardens full of life creating idyllic versions of places where beauty and possibility still linger. Working across painting, printmaking, wood carving, and ceramics, he refuses singular boundaries, earning recognition through the National Award from South Zone Cultural Center (2015) and the Emerging Artist Award from Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation (2015). Through sustained practice and multiple solo exhibitions, Chowdhury speaks to the dreams and textures embedded in contemporary Indian life, offering visions of a world still touched by grace
