Krishna Reddy, not the director, the artist is a great talent. He is a great printmaker and a sculptor, and was making waves a while ago throughout the western world. I do not know why he is not well known here. The way I came across him was through an accidental Google search. Anyway, let’s change that. Shall we?

Born in Chitoor, Reddy studied art at the prestigious Shantiniketan. He continued his studies in London, after a break, with guidance from Jiddu Krishnamurthy. After many successful expeditions, he joined Hayter's Atelier 17 in Paris, one of the best art houses, and worked under his as Associate Director. As far as we can gather, he still works there. Atelier 17 is only one among the many institutions with which he is associated. We didn't want to bore you, so we cut short. Google him if you want to know more.

He is fascinated by nature, which is evident in most of his works. Just remember that it’s printmaking, a rather difficult and arresting process, and not painting. Here are some of his most remarkable works of art. You are free to interpret them the way you want to:
1. Woman of Sunflower, 1998. .
2. Sea forms, 1955. .
3. Whirlpool, n.a. .
4. Butterfly Formation, 1957. .
5. Bulging Tuatara, 1953. .

This is what an article reported him saying after being away from India for 50 years: “India means everything to me. It is reflected in my work. It’s a part of me and I carry it with me everywhere I go.”
