The Hackett art collection holds over 100 original collages of Hormazd Narielwalla’s work, a carefully curated showcase from this work is on permanent display at the Savile Row atelier J.P. Hackett No.14 Savile Row throughout Art in Mayfair.
Hormazd Narielwalla works across a number of artistic disciplines including printmaking, sculpture and artist’s books but he is best known for his intricate paper collages and assemblages, which are originated on the surfaces of antique, vintage and bespoke tailoring patterns.
Viewing the utilitarian, graphic templates as ‘beautiful abstractions of the human body, that carry with them not only an outline of a garment but also a representation of the individual that wore it’, he re-interprets the long-discarded patterns, overlaying their delicate geometries with forms of his own, to express ideas about identity, memory, migration and diaspora.
