Achuthan Kudallur

Achuthan Kudallur, a notable name in South Indian contemporary art, is recognized for his abstract creations. Hailing from Kerala, Kudallur stands out as a self-taught artist in a field dominated by formal training. His limited formal instruction occurred during evening art classes at the Government College of Arts & Crafts in Madras. Primarily a colorist, Kudallur’s identity as an abstract painter follows his intense affection for individual colors. This adoration for colors propelled him to disregard figurative elements in his artwork. He embraced a focus on the essence of color itself, resulting in an engaging body of work.
