The groundbreaking works of
Navid Nuur
are being shown in
his first exhibition in Budapest
after being on display in the
Parisian Centre Pompidou
and the
Stedelijk
Museum
of Amsterdam. The
Iranian-born Dutch artist
has had solo shows at such legendary venues as the
Fridericianum
in Kassel, the
Parasol Unit
in London, the
Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen
, the
SMAK
in Ghent, the
Plan B Gallery Berlin/Cluj Napoca
and the
Matadero
in Madrid. His first summary exhibition of his
text-based works
just closed at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.
Navid Nuur’s critics usually describe his works with the slightly confusing
post-conceptualist label
, even though his area of research is actually the much more
instinctive field of human perception of art and materials
. His works are often inspired by experiences such as
skateboarding
,
graffiti
,
urban culture
, common paradoxes or even his own dyslexia. Nuur creates works in an
incredibly broad spectrum of media
, for example he won one of the most prestigious Dutch art awards – the Royal Award for Modern Painting – in 2011 with his monochrome painting program, which was bestowed upon him by the Dutch Queen. Apart from his
language inspired text-based works
,
drawings
and
aquarelles
, he also creates
non-conventional objects
and
installations
which he often calls “interimodules”. Through his experiments, he is also striving to
renew genres
such as
neon-art
or
limited series publications
. The thematic frame of Navid Nuur’s exhibition in Budapest is comprised of his works focusing on
colors
.
