Tarshito
Artist Statement
Tarshito’s first creative journey to the subcontinent in 1986 resulted in the stunning production of “Carpets of Meditation” in 1987. Then, through a series of working relationships with the most highly skilled craftmasters in India, he held an exhibition at the Crafts Museum of New Delhi entitled “The Gold and the Clay”. In this way, Tarshito established himself as one of the most convincing interpreters of art as a “confluence of traditions”.
From carpet-weaving to embroidery, from terracotta modelling to miniature painting, from the most remote tribal traditions to expressions of devotion, Tarshito’s art defines itself in terms of shared inspiration and close personal interaction. Throughout it reveals a commitment to discovery and research.
