Hariprasad Sukumaran: Artist Establishing the Communication Between the Divine and Reality through Hyper Realist Paintings.

Hariprasad Sukumaran is a man of brilliant talent. Hailing from Kerala, he paints reality on his canvas whenever he picks up the paintbrush in his hand. He works with all mediums like charcoal, pencils, water color, acrylic, oil painting etc. Charcoal and oil colour are among his favourites.
His paintings which are hyper realistic, will leave you in awe. Sukumaran said that he has been painting ever since he was 5 and he has dedicated the meaning of his life to his art.
His hyper realistic paintings make you wonder how much time he has given to perfect his art. It is the nuance and details that catch one's attention when you look at Hariprasad's paintings. His paintings such as Blacky which is a hyper realistic painting of a dog is so breathtakingly real that one always mistakes it for an actual photograph.
The most amazing thing about hyperrealism is that you see how a subject gets exposed to the light and hence, it gets sculpted by it in a manner that seems raw and nuanced appealing more to the human eyes than a photograph. Hariprasad does an amazing job at making you feel and live in the moment while looking at those paintings as if the painting is talking to you and inviting you to tap into a reality where you can feel and establish communication with the painting.
Hariprasad has achieved many awards. His painting "nostalgia" was auctioned by Poland Art Exhibition organization (student art works foundation, Poland) and he was awarded silver medal at national level Spot Painting Competition during his college days but what really inspires Hariprasad the most is when someone gets amazed by his paintings and that is obviously the best thing that an artist could get.
His paintings are well composed and maintain coherence which makes a visual treat for us viewers. If you need to extract any kind of profundity out of his paintings, it should be his attention to details and how he maintains the balance between the unspoken which is the divine element in most of the great arts that is there for people to decipher and the reality that is obvious.
Even if you are not an ardent student of art and paintings, you will love his artworks just because of this balance of order and chaos, Yin and Yang.
All debates about Hyperrealism versus Abstract seem to be unreasonable when it comes to his paintings.
Hariprasad told us that when he paints, he puts extra efforts on painting the eyes. Eyes are something that really make the subjects of his drawings stand out of other hyperrealist artists' artworks. He believes that eyes are window to the soul and they establish the emotional value and like I said earlier, he is right because it is this feature of his artworks that makes it possible for us to enjoy the visual treat that we get through his art.
He has been painting for 25 years and he loves to paint portraits. Other than these breath-taking paintings that he makes, he is also an assistant professor in a college in Tamil Nadu and he also loves to make short films and he has two amazing short films to his name out of which he has directed one and produced the other and looking forward for an adventurous journey that life has to offer to him.
As of now, he has been teaching his art and passing on his valuable skills to more than 300 students who are part of his recorded and live courses.
He gets amazing reviews by the students which are not bound to any age group. Many of his students have become amazing at painting hyper realistic paintings themselves. His students are from varied age group which is quite astounding as he could be seen teaching his students starting from 7 years old to 50 years old with same energy and patience which is enough to describe his success as an amazing art teacher as well.
He looks forward to expand his territory and explore himself as an artist and a teacher.
