Just as time is an expression of perception and change, the artistic cosmos of Navid Nuur remains in constant movement, permanently being formed by drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations. The artist himself describes his works as “interimodules”: module in reference to the works’ conceptuality and the interrelationship between different elements, and interim as an indicator of being in-between, a temporary state of transition. Starting from matter as the substance of all things, Nuur investigates almost like an alchemist the nature of art and the world by focusing his attention on materiality and by revealing diverse manifestations. Recontextualization as well as processes of discovery and rediscovery are characteristic of his approach. Nuur examines various parameters of art and experiments with elements such as color, light, and heat, thereby exploring phenomena of perception and inspiring new ways of seeing.
Nuur’s works can be found in significant collections including the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Musée National d’Art Moderne – The Centre Pompidou, Paris; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; and the Kunsthalle Zürich, Zurich; etc.
