Margaret Lanzetta is currently lives and works in New York City. She received an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. Her work was recently on view at the Stockholm Independent Art Fair.
Her work draws inspiration from Buddhism, nature, Islamic architecture, industry and sixty’s pop culture. Partly schematic, partly metaphoric, the work incorporates systems of organic plant forms, and repetitive patterns extracted from architecture, industrial materials and various cultural sources. Paralleling Warhol’s work, patterns are deconstructed and printed in repeating combinations of color and scale. Her work combines digital technology, painting and various printmaking processes.

Selected shows: the ATP Gallery, London and the Queens Museum Biennial, New York; Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Allegra La Viola Gallery and Heskin Contemporary, New York; Le Cube Gallery, Morocco and a ten year survey show at Cantor Gallery, Massachusetts.
Honors: two Fulbright Awards: Germany and India/Syria; the British Academy Rome Prize, several MacDowell residencies
Public Commission: the New York subway system
Museum collections: the Museum of Modern Art, New York, The British Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The Fogg Museum, Harvard, and the Yale Art Gallery.
