The political and cultural movements leading up to the Liberation War played an important role in Swapan Chowdhury’s life. In 1971, he organised and participated in art exhibitions in India and abroad, to uphold the cause of the war. He joined the Artists’ Association and went around refugee camps, singing and motivating the fighters. A prolific painter, Chowdhury began to shed the narrative over time, and emphasised on feelings, with forms becoming austere and simple. Chowdhury graduated from the Government Art Institute in Dhaka. |
