4. Hand Eye magazine Cosmic Microcosm 2009 "Alexander Gorlizki’s fifteen-year fascination with Indian miniature paintings has blossomed into a body of work notable for its intricate beauty, and fluid, almost free associative imagery, not to mention the collaborative nature of how it is made. By commissioning Riyaz Uddin, a master miniaturist painter in Jaipur, these imaginative and compelling works bring together some radically different approaches to art."
