Reddy player a significant role in introduction and evolution of the so called ‘Modern Art’ of European in India. Inspired by Amrita Sher Gil, when she secured Bombay Art Society’s Gold medal in 1940, Reddy formed a group of the ‘Bombay Contemporary India Artists,’ branded ‘Young Turks’, in 1941. Notably this group of five painters was formed six years before the famous ‘Progressive Artists Group’ formed in Bombay in 1947.
Beginning with realistic academic style at the end of the 1930’s, Reddy showed signs of a distinctly original style influenced both by traditional India paintings on one side and Post-Impressionist style on the other. In later years, the process of integration continued with carious ‘isms’ appearing in his work. He worked with great passion, spending long hours in his studio, creating works in water colour, oils, etchings and sculptures. Abut 1970,he began painting Tantric themes from Indian mythology. His prodigious quantity of work and indomitable spirit is acknowledged by art lovers. His family wants to set up a museum of his work

  1. I have a signed lithogra phone by this artist from 1971 chivas movement. It's abstract and appears mythodical in nature. Not sure of the value. Very interesting artist
