Trained in Santiniketan as a sculptor, Krishna Reddy, one of India’s foremost artists who brought in a new language in printmaking, approached his art with a sense of urgency. The distinctive form he is associated with is the fractal, allowing the physical being or that which is concrete to melt and diffuse into a nether world. Just as in his prints, he creates in this watercolour a rising crescendo, each note bringing you closer to an immense uplifting of the spirit, a transition to the realm of the abstract.
