“…in Sangeeta Reddy’s mixed-media collages on monotypes such as Ellipse #37 the artist uses muted tones and deconstructed shapes, but based on Devanagari script—the writing used for Sanskrit and Hindi—that evoke different meanings depending on the viewer’s familiarity with the script.”
Srishti Sankaranarayanan, DARIA Art Magazine, April 8, 2020
“The paintings look like a mix between Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso — the bridge between the impressionism of the 19th century and the cubism that defined the early 20th. In the work of these two artists, one can track the deconstruction of nature into a system of basic forms.”

“…she displays meticulous technique and an innate feel for color, texture and mark making…”
Kyle MacMillan, “Solo Show a Chance to See Reddy’s work”, Denver Post, March 24, 2011
“…India native and Denver artist Reddy creates lyrical — and colorful — abstract compositions on paper.
Michael Paglia, “Now Showing”, Westword, March 29, 2011
"The melting pot has morphed into something rather more 'collaged.'”, —Sangeeta Reddy, quoted in a Smithsonia Institution publication on the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the H-1B visa.
Smithsonian Institution, November 2015
“Reddy’s large handsome abstract paintings, with their collaged, patched canvases and their weathered metallic patinas are like fragmented relics of antiquity, of memory and experience in explosive gestures that dazzle the eye. Traditional Indian art is figurative, iconographic and narrative. Reddy’s work easily recalls Indian weaving and color, but she makes giant, deliberate strides away from representationalism, retaining the spirit rather than the form of her heritage.”
Jennifer Heath, Rocky Mountain News
“Laying pieces of canvas atop her paper collage-style and painting with a sometimes-thick, sometimes smooth style, Sangeeta Reddy makes attractive, non-representational painting. But then she does something special–she adds Sanskrit text to her work as a design element. At times, there are hints of Asian architecture in her paintings’ curves and crescents. Seeing the beautiful “Dark Tablet, with its white space in the middle of a busily colorful composition, is like being handed the Ten Commandments.”
Steve Rosen, Denver Post
“Her work gives a sense of spirituality, a suggestion of religious icons. There is a great sense of inner light.” (Quote from Roslyn Spencer)
Jill Jones, The Coloradoan
“In the painting, “Energy of Darkness” …energy emanates in the rich colours and the undulating Devanagari Script…Her paintings glint and glow with feeling…retain a certain profundity of expression.”
Lekha J. Shankar, Hindustan Times, New Delhi, India
“Her abstract concepts have a strong Indian basis and naturally evoke a sort of loose affinity instead of any feeling of alienation in the viewers’ minds….the paintings have their links in an innate love of colour that always captivates the Indian psyche…Calligraphy…finds a unique place in her works…acquires a universal communication channel through art.”
Shubra Mazumdar, City Scan, New Delhi, India
“She is seen concentrating on a body of work in which colour becomes progressively pure and the compositions precise…By a persistent analysis of line and plane, (she) succeeds in building up an architectonic structure…”
