Artists Directory > Achuthan Kudallur

"Colours spread by its own logic. The problem starts when you begin to depend on certain shapes. It is like discovering an entire notation for a new language. A very personal vocabulary begins to evolve. It communicates very little, sometimes nothing! My works are my confession of my despair."

Born in 1945 in Kerala, Self-taught artist, has carved a niche for himself in the contemporary scene of Art. He has participated in several shows including Sotheby's Indian sale in Lone, New South Delfina gallery, London, Homage to Arthur Rimbaud in Indian and France, Heart Intutive Logic exhibition, Bombay, Bharat Bhavan Biennale and several International Shows that include the 7th Indian Triennale, New Delhi and 3rd Asian Art Show, Fukuoko, Japan, Achuthan won the National Award and the Tamil Nadu Lalit kala Akademi Award besides many other accolades and recognitions.

His works reminds us of a kind of religiosity but its ritualistic nature is let off. The interplay of lines and dots along with acute cubical forms creates an abstract imagery of his own.
