Ricardo Lanzarini’s drawings are composed of crowds of tiny figures: frantic little men dressed in extravagant attire swarm around the white pages like a colony of industrious insects. This eccentric cast of characters portrays the frustration of the human condition with a great deal of humor and delicacy. Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, he lives and works in New York and Montevideo. Selected exhibitions include: First Encounter Between Two Seas, Bienal Sao Paulo, Valencia, Spain (2007), Bahia, Josée Bienvenu gallery, New York (2007); 29th Annual Pontevedra Biennial, Pontevedra, Spain (2006); Talespinning, The Drawing Center, New York (2004). This February, his work will be featured at ARCO in Madrid for a solo project invited by Virginia Perez-Raton.
