Was an exhilarating year with many big wins for my practice, and here are some I’d like to share:
1). Private Commission - World Travellers, a commission referencing the artist Alighiero Boetti, that I completed for a private collectors, who are a dream to work for.
2). The Marvellous at Buccellati - It’s been a real pleasure to meet curator Piero Tomassoni from Artvisor who in collaboration with Bianca Arte invited me to exhibit at Buccellati Mayfair, for their Frieze presentation.
3). Legends & Icons - A 17-year monograph which took 2 years to put together with an Introduction by Nancy Campbelle and a Foreword by Joe Smith.
4) I was very excited that my artists books and monograph are now part of the permanent collection of Museo National Centro De Arte Reina Sofia’s Art Library.
5) Another institution and all the way in Australia acquired my work Diamond Dolls (2023) an artist’s book paying homage to David Bowie for their permanent collection.
6) The Chancery Rosewood Hotel Permanent Collection was the commission of a lifetime to create a large installation paying homage to Oscar Wilde which hangs in the lobby and original and hand finished editioned work for every suite in the hotel.
7) Brown University - I began my working relationship with Piero Tomassoni from Artvisor who invited to exhibit in a group show Locus Incognitus. The painting on canvas - The Voyage was placed in the permanent Collection of Brown University, which was quite a thrilling moment for me.
8) Egg Hunt - I was excited to be approached by my friends at Hackett who sponsored an Egg for the Big Egg Hunt for the Elephant Family.
9) Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair - The 10th edition and founders and friends Lizzie Glendinning and Jack Bullen asked me to create an eye catching installation and exhibited 6 original paintings on print depicting Musicians.
10) Hackett Glasgow - My collectors at Hackett have expanded their collection of my work by acquiring more paintings and collages for international locations. I’m sharing my favourite which is this painting I made with gilding techniques that hangs in their newly opened atelier in Glasgow.

A tailoring pattern is already a map. It just happens to chart a body.
Hormazd Narielwalla builds Expanding Universe on that premise. Fifteen canvases, six and a half metres across, hang in the Map Room of the Royal Geographical Society, each painted over the lines of a vintage German tailoring pattern. Notations drawn to fit a sleeve or a shoulder become orbits and trajectories. Gilded circles stand in for planets. From the Society’s own archive, home to over a million map sheets, come the serpents and sea monsters that once filled the blank corners of fifteenth-century charts. Earlier this month Narielwalla walked Diar through the archive and the work, and the two began to look like a single project: a long attempt to draw what cannot be seen whole.
On view in the Map Room at the Royal Geographical Society, 1 Kensington Gore, London, for five years.

Satellite of Love by Hormazd Narielwalla 🌑
Inspired by Lou Reed’s song, beautiful and immaculate in its composition but fuelled by jealousy and torment.
@narielwalla isolated a circular section of the pattern, focusing on multiple intricate lines, highlighted in the negative of these mono prints.
The result shifts as your eye follows the marks around the circle. Is it a celestial globe, or a dark hole spiralling into a vortex?
Like the song, the prints feel calm at first glance, however, the central bridge explodes with the reality of the narrator’s pain, singing about his partners adultery with multiple other men.

It’s been so incredible working with Peter Bennet from @atelierji who gave me full open access to the studio resources to make anything I’d like to work on. He believed in my vision of these magnificent large screen prints which took us 8 months to work on and it’s been so wonderful that @phillipsauction have put their might behind the project and released it in their Dropshop series. Also pretty excited for them to go on show in their NY gallery space. More to follow on that. Thank you Peter #dropshop #phillips #atelierji #hormazdnarielwalla

Just Dropped: Hormazd Narielwalla
Pulled from a 1904 French dress pattern, ‘Between the Garden Lines’ transforms a complex network of lines and symbols into a vivid trio of screenprints, in collaboration with JI Editions.
Weaving together deconstructed embroidery and sewing pattern drafts, Narielwalla likens the intricate line work to viewing a garden through a spider's web, with nods to the fountains and follies of grand garden design.
“If you focus on the floral elements of the pattern, the lines disappear, and if you focus on the lines, then they disappear. It was an interesting way of not denying each object's existence,” Narielwalla explains.
Now available on Dropshop.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Hormazd Narielwalla
Saffron Garden, 2024
Hormazd Narielwalla is a London-based artist known for his intricate paper collages and assemblages that repurpose vintage tailoring patterns into abstract compositions. With a background in fashion design and a PhD in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London, his practice explores identity, memory and transformation.
By overlaying discarded tailoring templates with vibrant forms, Narielwalla transforms these utilitarian objects into what he describes as “beautiful abstractions of the human body.” His work considers the narratives embedded within these patterns, bringing together the languages of fashion and fine art. His wider practice spans printmaking, sculpture, painting and artist’s books, drawing on cross-cultural aesthetics and the legacy of Cubism.
For ELEMENTS 2026, Narielwalla presents Saffron Garden, a multi-layered painting made on a historic sewing pattern, printed onto canvas and developed through layers of gilding and acrylic paint.
The underlying pattern is combined with abstract forms and recognisable drawings of flowers. The soft traces of the final brushstrokes suggest a still life coming to rest as a cycle of nature reaches its end — the powder of flowers left behind, the construction of a garden that once was, and the gradual transformation of the image.
Born in India in 1979, Narielwalla has been based in London for many years. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in public and private collections.

I am honoured to share the Bayerische Staatsbiblithek (Bavarian State Library, Munich) @bsbmuenchen have acquired the last copy of Diamond Dolls (2021) for their renowned artist’s book collection headed by Dr Antje Goetzke.
The collection holds over 14,0000 artists books curated by the Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books and includes works by artists such as Alex Katz, Andy Warhol, Antoni Tàpies, Christopher Wool, Ed Ruscha, Eduardo Paolozzi, Joan Miro, Henri Matisse, Marina Abramović, Marcel Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg - estimable company for my work to be in.
Diamond Dolls (2021) plays homage to David Bowie @davidbowie containing prints of 36 collage works contained in three concertina booklets. At the time of release the artist’s book was endorsed by Iman herself, Dylan Jones and Russell Tovey.
The book couldn’t have been possible without the support of @emmahilleagle Emma Hill, @printsmithworld Fenton Smith, @kieran.mcglone Kieran McGlone. Introduced by @johnoconnell2020 John O’Connell, author of Bowie’s Books (Bloomsbury, 2019), who draws parallels between Bowie’s shape-shifting ability to project different personas through dress and make-up and my exploration of themes that encompass identity, adornment and transformation.

I love the idea of an Art Object.
The Chancery Rosewood commissioned the studio to interpret the Oscar Wilde original collages part of their permanent collection, into beautifully made silk scarves and pocket squares. Produced in the UK and hand rolled in France in limited editions.
The scarf, framed by @hawkinsframing in chic bronze hangs proudly in the central foyer of the hotel. #thechanceryrosewood #hormazdnarielwalla
