The Œuvre of Tania & Lazlo forms a combination of photography, cinema, performance and installation. The sceneries turn from visions to sketches and afterwards into real sets, containing costumes and probs. The artist duo diligently brings their drafts to life, realized in detail like a movie set, so that the inherent magic of the settings can be crystallized through the final photographic image.
TANIA & LAZLO are a Visual Artist duo based between Italy and New York. Their artwork has been exhibited in Galleries, Foundations and Museums across Europe, United States and Asia, including at LA MAISON ROUGE Foundation Antoine de Galbert in Paris, the MUSCARELLE Museum of Art in USA, Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, MART Museum in Rovereto.
Their artworks are part of prestigious Public collections, including the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, the Muscarelle Museum of Art, the Bellarmine Museum of Art, the HBC Global Art Collection in NYC and private collections internationally.
