In I.D.Hiranyagarbha (The Cosmic Egg), Lazaro again beautifully welds mythological murmurings of a text from the Sanskrit Poem Maharasa Lila Krishna’s Great Circular Dance, echoing the geometry of a Sacred Pichhavai painting, with the fingerprint as a modern marker of personal identity.
The exhibition weaves these personal stories and the effects of migration on the Lazaro family today. The strong presence of his skill of the Pichhavai paintings continues to be present through the miniature paintings, through his use of the traditional pigment paint and Sanganeer paper - all of which is hand-made by the artist and his studio assistant.
