Untitled (Composition II) exemplifies Reddy's mastery of the viscosity printing technique, a process he helped pioneer and refine at Atelier 17 in Paris. In this abstract work, Reddy's disciplined yet poetic approach to printmaking is on full display, where colour, form, and texture are harmoniously interwoven into a unified surface that pulses with quiet intensity.
The etching radiates with softly modulated hues, built through Reddy's signature multi-roller method, which allows a single plate to carry multiple layers of colour. Organic forms, part cellular, part cosmic, emerge from the matrix, evoking a sense of growth, inner life, and interconnectedness.
Reddy's commitment to both scientific inquiry and spiritual exploration is palpable in this work. His forms, though abstract, often suggest life at a microscopic or metaphysical scale, echoes of his deep interest in nature, philosophy, and the infinite. Here, the etched surface becomes a field of dynamic tension, where minute variations in line and pressure generate depth and energy.
