Baker Artist Portfolios

Pothik Chatterjee is a Harvard-educated abstract artist based in Baltimore and inspired by the intersection of South Asian-American culture, Hindu spirituality, and LGBTQ identity, creating a unique perspective and vision for restorative healing. Born in Kolkata, India in 1984, and Harvard-educated, Chatterjee grew up around the world in Dubai, Paris, Abu Dhabi and Jakarta and his art is a contemporary fusion of East and West. Chatterjee's paintings are calm and meditative, inspired by nature, emotion, the gold iconography of Hindu Goddesses and imagining new ways of loving and creating and subverting the patriarchy. He primarily works in acrylic painting, building layers of depth accentuated by gold, and he has experimented with mixed media by pouring candle wax on canvas to create soft textures and a dreamy feeling. Chatterjee has shown in galleries and exhibitions in Baltimore and sold to collectors internationally. Pothik Chatterjee serves as Chief Economic Officer at the Greater Baltimore Committee, with a focus on economic development for the greater Baltimore region through business attraction and federal funding for the Baltimore Tech Hub designation, achieved by Pothik's leadership in 2023.
