lives and works in Berlin
Timo Nasseri (b.1972, Germany, Berlin), lives and works in Berlin. Having studied photography at the Berliner Lette-Verein, his pictorial and formal inventions are fed by profound explorations of mathematical thought models and the mathematical principles of Islamic ornamentation and architecture. In his work, abstraction is not exclusively aesthetic, but also a mathematical and at the same time symmetry-forming operation, to make potential possibilities in the field of the visible tangible.
Nasseri has had solo exhibitions at Stichting Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen (2018); Maraya Art Centre, Sharjah (2017); and AK Vienna (2016). His work has also been shown at Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich (2019); the Aga Khan Museum, Toronto (2017); the Melbourne Triennale (2017); Museum Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt (2016); KW-Kunstwerke, Berlin (2015); and the Drawing Room Biennial, London (2015). He was also the winner of the Abraaj Capital Art Prize in 2011.
