sasan nasernia

Born in Tehran, 1974, Sasan Nasernia began his career primarily as a calligrapher and typography artist. Exploring different avenues in Persian classical and also modern calligraphy, he has since expanded his practice to include painting, print, digital work and installation. In his search to find a personal format of calligraphy, he has found a novel way of intertwining letters and words, which he refers to as “Crazy Kufic”. Nasernia, who has a BFA from Azad Art University of Tehran; also explores a myriad of themes in his work. He is broadly interested in playing with the tension between opposing elements of order and chaos. Nasernia employs the icons of the past and the modern world, infuses them with letters and lines to create a visual lexicon of his own. He has exhibited his work in multiple group as well as solo shows.
