Untitled

A burst of aesthetic colour encompassing pulsating strands of energy is the hallmark of Krishna Reddy’s prints such as this Untitled one. Reddy, who studied at and honed his printmaking skills at S. W Hayter’s printmaking studio, Atelier 17 in Paris, pioneered the colour viscosity process, which allowed him to attain a range of extraordinary colours on the plate. In this work, he builds a narrative starting from a yellow coiled spiral at the bottom right that unleashes a spurt of energy seen rising vertically upwards and then horizontally in a sharp turn.
