Krishna Reddy (1925-2018) was a renowned Indian printmaker and sculptor, known for his innovative and experimental application. He initially studied at Santiniketan (Visva-Bharati University), studying under Nandalal Bose. He later moved to London to attend the Slade School of Fine Art and then to Paris, where worked for the famous Stanley William Hayter’s Atelier 17, where he developed his innovative technique of simultaneous multicolor viscosity printing. By mastering varying viscosities of different inks, he was able to achieve a single print plate that consisted of an array of colors, a feat which previously required multiple plates and passes. This revolutionary design places Reddy as one of the most transformative printmakers of the twentieth century. Aside from his technical process, Reddy utilized these techniques to create colorful compositions inspired by the micro structures of nature, often referencing spider webs, flora, and cellular structures as sources of inspiration. His work explores through an alternate lens, the interconnectedness of life. Reddy’s legacy is defined by his decades of leadership as a professor and Director of the Color Printmaking Department at New York University (NYU). A recipient of the Padma Vibhushan (1972), his work has been the subject of major retrospectives at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His prints and sculptures are held in the permanent collections of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York; The British Museum, London; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), New Delhi.
