Sunil has exhibited around 30 works. There are 20 sculptures, done mainly in wood and terracota. The remaining are paintings in acrylic. The paintings are mostly from his days at the Kanoria Centre.
In his works, Sunil tries to deal with history. They attempt to capture the 'hero' figures who were always demonised.
Shijo's works are concerned with the personal. Body is the preliminary concern. Different stages of his life are depicted. His student days in Thiruvananthapuram and New Delhi and his stint at the Kanoria Centre are also reflected.
He has exhibited 16 works, all of them paintings. Most consist of multiple frames.
