Kerala Lalitkala Academy, recently celebrated the birth anniversary of KCS Paniker, a doyen among South Indian painters. The seminar evaluated Paniker from the perspective of his times. Those who spoke were reputed art historians, academicians, and critics. Interventions from a discerning audience made the day intellectually alive. KCS, no doubt, stands tall in the world of South Indian art and painting after Ravi Varma. Both of them hailed from Kerala, went out to create an art world with a pan-Indian stamp, made history, and left a legacy. But instead of glorifying an iconic figure, with an irreverence that characterizes the Malayali spirit, the discussions deconstructed Paniker. Sadanand Menon, Sivaji Panikker, and Ashrafi S Bhagat were some of the speakers.
