Lyrical Renditions
 
There is a reflection and frequent presence of 'self ' in all the artworks by Anjani Reddy. If some works explore the intricacies of treasured experiences, the others unravel her day to day exposure and connections with her immediate surroundings and people .The basic core and concept of her work revolves around myriad facets of life, mostly positive and uplifting.
The mixed essence of peace and tranquillity that defines the basic nature of the artist, Anjani Reddy gets reflected in her work with the same spirit and strength. Her paintings celebrate the mundane retreats and activities which have much deeper roots and philosophy hidden within their attributes than what appears on the surface.
 Amongst rosy setting and calm harmony, a moment, a feeling and a thought subtly gets manifested .The young women in the works rejoice and reminisce the golden moments and days that have overshadowed all other anecdotes and experiences of their lives They seem to be caught in the best of their moods and ambiences. In the perfect harmony of bright and soft ,prominent and diffusing colours, the 'Nayika' relaxes and reigns thoroughly.
The palette is lively and celebrates the effervescence and flavours of a harmonious existence. The 'line', strong and rhythmic, at times gets merged into the vicinities of the space .The colour areas are aptly complimented with delicately delineated, lively motifs, floral clusters and patterns. The overall ambience of the painting is such that it wafts a soft melodious tune which cannot be missed.
The very recent works by the artist however effulge with a distinct change in mode of expression. Although the artist still works on concepts similar to the earlier works, the approach has become more spontaneous and has gained an openness that enthrals. An obvious connection to personal connotation and unravelling of the self gives the works an introspective depth. The balanced and finished detailing has given way to open and random strokes. The artist seems to rejoice in her freedom where the space created becomes a sensitive medium to vent her sense of liberation and self attunement. The works exemplify an acceptance and embracement of the innermost feelings with an open mind and spirit.
If the delicately interlaced and finished patterns of the earlier works made the viewer to rejoice in their gaiety, the viewer finds an equally strong connection with the boldly rendered protagonist of the recent works.
The canvas for the artist becomes a crystal clear reflection of thoughts and images that trespass her mind. On the vicinities of her medium the artist revisits the episodes, people, places and everything else that have instinctively made her to grow and evolve as a woman and an artist.
