Devi

It was a trip to some of the south Indian temples with his wife that led M. Reddeppa Naidu to start work on his Devi series. In his own words, the experience allowed him to expand his ‘aesthetic expression’ introducing him to ‘a new kind of imagery… that lay in the iconography of our region in terms of beauty and lyricism’. As with his other works, in Devi, too, the lyricism of the line is once again on display highlighted with a simplicity and strength of the colour palette.
