Lines of Connection: Lazzari and Mohamedi's Abstract Echoes
24 Oct
Summary
- Exhibit links two artists with shared abstract and geometric styles.
- Lazzari and Mohamedi explored rhythm through repetition and restraint.
- KNMA exhibition marks Lazzari's first show in Asia.
The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) in New Delhi is hosting 'In-Rhythm,' an exhibition that draws a compelling parallel between the late Italian artist Bice Lazzari (1900-1981) and Indian artist Nasreen Mohamedi (1937-1990). This unique presentation explores the unexpected affinities in their artistic approaches, focusing on their shared use of line, geometry, repetition, and restraint.
Both artists, who never met, independently gravitated towards abstraction with remarkable stylistic commonalities. Lazzari's work evolved to feature lines, grids, and subtle color fields, while Mohamedi became recognized for her precise geometric compositions. The exhibition posits an "ethical kinship," showcasing how their shared exploration of abstraction's constraints and freedoms fostered resonant rhythms.
Presented in partnership with the Italian Embassy Cultural Centre, 'In-Rhythm' is a significant moment, marking Bice Lazzari's debut exhibition in Asia. This event is particularly noteworthy as Lazzari is slated for a major retrospective in Rome in 2026. The exhibition, running until December 22, invites visitors to experience abstraction as a universal language.
