Zarina's work is typically characterized by a formal austerity. Her pin drawings with their organic surface come to life as the viewer's gaze wanders along the delicate relief formed by the repeated piercings of a sewing needle. The ghostly outlines of grid patterns emerge from the handmade constellation of tiny holes mirroring the artist's quest for mapping personal memories of dislocation and boundaries.
An inspiration among her contemporaries, straddling the art scene across four decades, Zarina was one of a group of artists who represented India at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. She has participated in numerous exhibitions, including Mind and Matter: Alternative Abstractions from 1940s to Present at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia 1860-1989 at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, Gouge: The Modern Woodcut at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles and WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution a traveling exhibition organized by MOCA, Los Angeles. A retrospective exhibition is scheduled to open in September 2012 at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
