Artvisor and Bianca Arte are pleased to present The Marvellous, a solo exhibition of Hormazd Narielwalla at Buccellati’s Mayfair private rooms from 14 October to 14 November 2025.

The practice of Hormazd Narielwalla (b.1979, India) works by invocation rather than illustration. Initially trained in Fashion Design before obtaining his PhD in Fine Art, Narielwalla builds patterns and figures from historical sewing templates: sleeves fold into laps, joined panels imply seats, and the voids between cut pieces trace an absent body. Rooted in an interest in identity and cross-cultural aesthetics, his work treats these fragments as repositories of personal and collective biography, where histories meet and subjects are remade. This archival, manual logic, employing scissors and pattern, is at the heart of Narielwalla’s making.

The present exhibition is a compact survey of Narielwalla’s recent series: from his well-known fractal studies of the human figure, to the newly developed Gods and Monsters, born in response to Artvisor’s last exhibition, to the debut of the Fire Jewels, gilded canvases that fuse digital pattern and precious surfaces, inspired by Buccellati’s heritage. Across these works, geometry, memory, and material converge into poetic form.

Buccellati is a leading high jewellery and goldsmithing brand founded in Milan in 1919 and renowned globally. Their refined attention to texture and light resonates in Narielwalla’s own manipulation of paper, print, and gilding; two languages of materiality meeting for the first time in the brand’s London flagship space. That language of pattern and precious surface is what makes the dialogue with Buccellati so immediate and compelling. Narielwalla’s fractal patterns, that shimmer like facets, speak directly to the optic of a cut diamond in the way light fragments across multiple planes.

Fire Jewel, the new series premiered in this show, crystallises that convergence between image and object. Technically, the works are digital found-pattern prints on canvas finished with metal-leaf gilding. Conceptually, they stage a productive tension between reproducibility and the one-off: the digital pattern offers repeatable geometry while the gilding restores the singularity of the hand. The metal leaf does more than add luminosity, it fractures the printed field into reflective planes that catch and scatter light like gemstone facets. Where Narielwalla’s fractal motifs suggest diamond geometry, Fire Jewel gives that suggestion a material, tactile register: gilded seams read as bezels, printed repetition as faceting, and the canvas becomes a pendant-scale landscape of gleam and depth. The result is both jewel and map, a surface that insists on both looking and being looked at.

The exhibition highlights shared values: a devotion to craft, an interest in pattern as language, and a belief in the slow, indexical work of making, whether by hand-engraving gold or by cutting, collaging and gilding paper and canvas. Visitors are invited to experience how Narielwalla’s cartographies of cloth and the jeweller’s micro-geographies of metal enter a new, luminous correspondence.
