Born in Tehran, 1974, Sasan Nasernia began his career primarily as a calligrapher and typography artist . Exploring different avenues in Persian and Arabic classical and modern calligraphy, he has since expanded his practice to include painting, print, digital work and installation. Nasernia, who has a BFA from Azad Art University of Tehran; explores a myriad of themes in his practice. He is broadly interested in playing with the tension between two opposing primordial elements of order and chaos. Sometimes borrowing from traditional Persian paintings and iconography, he immerses these elements in abstraction and ambiguity, infused with his letter forms. Nasernia also employs the icons of our world – past and present - to create a visual lexicon of his own.
Nasernia’s approach to calligraphy has always been a personal journey to find novel ways to create letter forms out of the most contemporary concepts. By deconstructing the rules of Arabic and Persian calligraphy and by borrowing from the earliest types of this form of art, he has developed his signature format of writing which he playfully calls “Crazy Kufic”.
