Krishna Reddy’s Art Stems on the Wings of a Butterfly

THE HINDU
By Sujatha Shankar Kumar

We sense the ambience filtering through Krishna Reddy’s prints
that he also speaks of, growing up in a village community in Nadanoor

INDIA--- This year, Krishna Reddy is 89. Krishna Reddy drove his art with an intimate knowledge of mechanics and materials. Krishna imbibed Nature and translated all of this with geometry, like women making kolams with dexterity, as if he was discovering the hidden lines of construction that make up each thing. Every time his mother took him to the temple, the priest preached about God. On the other side, a man in the town where he attended school announced that there is no God. These two possibilities set off an early revolution in his mind leading to his questioning the existence of everything in Nature we oft take for granted. [link]
