Aa a boy who was raised in the rural landscape of Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh, artist Krishna Reddy’s work is dominated by a powerful pantheistic need to depict nature. Inspired by the sun, rivers, ponds, flowers, plants, fish and even courtyard kolam rangolis, Reddy has made an artistic corpus out of boyhood memories. Rambling through the fields in his village, he felt a sense of wonder, and the infinite possibilities of nature dawned upon him, manifested as they are in his early, now unavailable, drawings and doodles that he made as a ten-year-old.
