A WORD...
Today, Deepak’s hands, heart and imagination join in making elegant new wonders.
He keeps surprising me. His works feel wholly original. They aim to copy no others.
His instinct is spot on. The same “gut” that got him to leave the corporate world for a
different path, has permitted us to see unfurled a large body of work that might never
have been without a momentary sunrise awakening one golden morning.
As Maya Angelou put it, “If one is lucky, sometimes a solitary fantasy can totally
transform one million realities.” May it always be so.
With admiration,

IMPERMANENCE
Clouds and graffiti _ both fleeting expressions of some visible brilliance _ be it
Nature’s one-off confluence of light and mist, or the clever freshness of some young
rogue’s hand.
“Ce n’est pas le temps qui passe mais nous.”
“It is not time that passes, but us.”

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Deepak Chowdhury was born in India into an army family, and spent his early
years at Mayo College, a boarding school in Rajasthan, then received a B.A.
from St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai.
Leaving India for the first time in 1979, he spent two years as a management
trainee in England, prior to obtaining an M.B.A. from the University of
Chicago, and settling in New York to commence a career in financial services.
In 1997, Deepak joined Legg Mason, an asset management company
headquartered in Baltimore, where he spent the next decade in a variety of
senior management roles.
Deepak left his professional career in 2007 to explore areas of passion that
were outside the corporate world, and he found it in travel and photography.
The breadth of Deepak’s photographic interests span a range of subjects,
such as clouds, graffiti, temple art, ancient erotic sculpture, and the truck art
of South Asia. He is also an ardent photographer of village life in India, which
he primarily captures while traveling by car, his preferred mode of transport in
the country.
Deepak has also begun exploring the area of composite art, which
thoughtfully incorporates and combines his diverse range of photographic
interests. This includes his portfolio titled “Impermanence,” which brings
together images of clouds and graffiti from all over the world. He has recently
added a series titled “Boundless,” which pays homage to the wondrously
colorful style of the women in the towns and villages of India.
