Srinivas Redd

Srinivas Reddy (b. 1952)
Srinivas graduated in Fine Arts from JNT University Hyderabad, and specialized in
ceramic sculpture from Faculty of Fine Arts, M. S. University, Vadodara in 1990.
This artist is at ease with several different media like terracotta, fiber glass, bronze,
stone and painting. This has been possible due to his unrelenting efforts in the field
for the past twenty years. For Srinivas, art is a process, like life itself – continuous
and ever-changing, challenging and yet with umpteen possibilities. This belief lead
him to experiment constantly, efforts that won him a National Award. Early works
of his oeuvre, for instance the terracotta and wooden heads with mushrooms, are
marked with an intense expressionistic leaning, the language that communicates
his urge and striving to carve a unique space for himself. An introspective mood
pervades his paintings and sculptures of early to mid 90s. These psychological
narratives are about desire and fear of the significant ‘Other’.
Srinivas Reddy’s works are in several public and private collections in India and
abroad. He currently lives and works in Hyderabad.
