He is an artist who has been perfecting a less known form of art.
An adept young artist who has been acquiring newer skills to use
unconventional media.

Sundar a 28-year-old graduate of the College of Arts and Crafts
in the city has traversed the distance to the land of rising sun,
to pursue art. He has moved off the beaten track even when he was
pursuing his formal course.
Collography according to the artist was not something that is usually
opted for. It just turned out to be a challenge for him and also
the route to awards and to a Japanese Government Fellowship programme
for artists from abroad.
His forte is to use materials like cloth, bits of leather, cardboard,
mats and so on, which are treated with some materials and then used
as medium for art prints. The artist has also been perfecting such
techniques as etching on lotus leaves, which are treated with acidic
water and rendering smooth and translucent.
 Painting
on such things as old scan and X-ray films, discarded compact discs
and on lotus leaves is other things, which engage his attention.
Among the fascinating works on the not-so-usual media that Sunder
uses is ``The Spiritual Centre’’ which presents a landscape
of spirit. His woodcuts dwell on dreams, emotions and the seasons.
Ultimately the artist has one thing to say ``I have been trying
to transform traditional ideas to suit modern approaches’’.
