Navid Nuur (b.1976, Tehran, Iran), lives in The Hague

The way in which Navid Nuur relates to material, the space around him and his observations therein, can almost be regarded as devout. In Nuur’s sculptures and paintings, a very personal visual problem becomes the central question. Here, form is not necessarily the result of the idea, but materializes through a subjective program of requirements in which intuition has the upper hand. Major soloshows were recently held at Be-part (Waregem, 2017), International Criminal Court (The Hague, 2016, permanent), Dundee Contemporary Arts (Dundee, 2014), Trafo House (Budapest, 2014), Bonnefantenmuseum (Maastricht, 2013), Parasol Unit (London, 2013) and Centre Pompidou (Paris, 2013). Navid Nuur is represented by Gallery Max Hetzler (Berlin/Paris), Galeria Plan B (Berlin/Cluj) and Gallery Martin van Zomeren (Amsterdam).
