Alexander Gorlizki was born in London in 1967 and studied Fine Art at Bristol Polytechnic, followed by an M.F.A in Sculpture at the Slade, London. A British native, Gorlizki currently lives and works in New York. Gorlizki’s works on paper originate from an obsession with Indian Miniature paintings – a tradition that he has subverted and applied to his own particular visual language. In the mid 1990’s he opened a studio in Jaipur, India with Riyaz Uddin, a master painter with a perfect command of technique that goes back over 600 years. Gorlizki draws out wonderfully odd subjects, patterns and compositions that Uddin then paints with jewel-coloured pigments, stone colours and gold leaf with a single hair-tipped brush to create works of breathtaking intricacy. When not working together in the studio, drawings get sent back and forth to be modified and adapted between New York and Jaipur, often over a period of years.

Gorlizki’s practice is inspired by and integrated with his passion for the tradition of Indian miniature painting. Gorlizki, who was trained in sculpture, is now best known for his works on paper. The subjects and styles of his drawings range from geometric abstraction to loosely narrative representation, featuring everything from the mythical to the everyday. He draws from ornamental and textile patterns, photographs and magazine pages, pop culture, and both Western and Eastern iconographies. Sometimes Gorlizki exhibits his work alongside traditional Indian drawings. In the mid-1990s, he began to collaborate with master Indian miniature painter Riyaz Uddin. When they did not work together in the same studio, Uddin and Gorlizki would mail drawings back and forth as a means to work on them until completion—a process that sometimes took years.
