Hormazd Narielwalla is a collage maker; working with bespoke Savile Row tailoring patterns as his source materials. His fascination of tailoring archive earned him the only International Rector’s Scholarship from the University of Arts London at London College of Fashion. During his residency at Dege & Skinner Savile Row, he wrote The Savile Row Cutter, the tailoring biography of Master Tailor Michael Skinner published by Bene-factum Publishers. London 2011, and in 2008 produced a limited edition artist book Dead Man’s Patterns. The book was acquired by several art collections around the world including the Rare British Modern Collection at the British Library. In October 2009, Sir Paul Smith at his Mayfair gallery presented Narielwalla’s first solo exhibition A Study on Anansi. Since then he has exhibited in other galleries-stores in London, Melbourne, Stockholm, Athens and the eminent Scope Art Fair in New York. Most recently he was commissioned by the Crafts Council to exhibit in their national touring exhibition Block Party curated by artist Lucy Orta. The concept of his artistic quest is to interpret and communicate patterns as abstract shapes of the human form; using this unique theme in his work he narrates untold tailoring stories.
