JIT CHOWDHURY b. 1988

Jit Chowdhury (b. 1988, Kolkata, West Bengal) studied at AFA, Kolkata, 2006; Srishti School of Art Design and Technology, Bangalore, 2008-2010; and Visual Communication, DII, Indore, 2013.

His work has been exhibited in numerous group shows, including Gallery 47A, Mumbai, 2022; Design Milestone, 2024; India Design ID, Delhi, 2025; Method Gallery, Mumbai, 2025; Art Mumbai, Mumbai, 2025; and Triveni Kala Sangam, New Delhi, 2025. His works have been featured in The Indian Curator, March, 2015.

Rooted in the intersection of art, architecture, design, and typography, and shaped by his memories of South Calcutta, his work is drawn to the coexistence of past and present, capturing how tradition survives amidst modernity. Working primarily with sholapith and natural indigo, his practice has evolved into an exploration of their colour, fragility, and texture while drawing connections to Japanese and Bengali histories.

Jit lives and works in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
