Download PDF (32 K)CHITTROVANU MAZUMDAR
Chittrovanu Mazumdar's work pulls from various influences, be it visual, musical or lyrical. Having grown-up in an open and supportive family setting, he never had to restrain his artistic impulses as many artists do. Chittrovanu received no formal training aside from the Government College of Art, Kolkata. He believes that art is a private activity for the artist; a search within the individual: "Results of an artist's work may be beneficial to society … however he may not have intended this."
