The exhibition of paintings by Sudheeran Prayar, an alumnus of RVSM Higher Secondary School and an artist-par-excellence has drawn the attention of the common man and connoisseurs of art alike. The exhibition organized by his schoolmates was inaugurated by Ms. U Prathibha, MLA on 13th February at the Painting Preservation Centre (Cartoonist Sankar National Museum, Krishnapuram) of Kerala Lalithakala Academy.

While some of his paintings definitely invoke nostalgic memories of his school days and village-life, the majority of paintings, be it, a landscape, a portrait, or a still life, displayed his masterstrokes as a talented and versatile painter. The images of yesteryears as the school campus, the school junction, local vendors, Oachira temple campus, and the like, are widely appreciated by the visitors of the locality.
Sudheeran seems obsessively nostalgic, and the feel is noticeable in almost all the paintings. Still, the places he visited, the cities he lived in, the people he encountered, the nascency of teen love, the jobs people do etc. appear as themes of his paintings. Besides watercolor, he is comfortable with acrylic, oil, and pencil for his expressions.
Sudheeran, a down-to-earth young man, is currently stationed in Qatar. He had already conducted four exhibitions and won more than forty national and international contests. Besides being a painter, Sudheeran is also a noted poet and lyricist. Congrats and good wishes from all of us from RVSM Higher Secondary School.
