Ravinder Reddy

Ravinder Reddy, born in 1956 in Andhra Pradesh, emerges as a sculptor whose art embodies prophecy. His sculptures, predominantly colossal heads, confront viewers frontally with wide-open eyes, epitomizing proclamation. Each piece, devoid of sideways glances, carries a predictive essence through gold emblazoning, vibrant red hues, or intricate symbolic hairdos.Tracing inspiration from ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and early Greeks, Reddy’s work champions extreme simplification and frontality. His exploration of these historical aesthetics validates his role as a herald, navigating past echoes to illuminate the future through art.Reddy’s artistic journey, rooted in his B.F.A. & M.F.A. from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, led to further studies in sculpture at Goldsmith College of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. Women serve as the focal point of his work, celebrated in both monumental heads and voluptuous figurative sculptures, reflecting a diverse palette and an arresting, bold gaze designed to captivate.
