“Art is a tool for contemplating mechanisms that shape the world.”
Shahin Afrassiabi’s “displays” are 3D spatial compositions using everyday objects which undermine each other – particularly interior building materials and domestic objects (wallpaper, plywood, curtains, carpets, TVs). He is fond of shop window displays and his work is influenced by architecture and early 20th century design, including Russian Constructivism.

After graduating, Shahin set up The Trade Apartment with architect Raymond Brinkman and held his first solo show, ‘You’re a Heavenly Thing’, earlier this year. As well as several exhibitions in the UK and abroad, he has taken part in ‘These Epic Islands’ 2000 (curated by Brian Griffiths) and ‘Surfacing’ 1998 at the ICA.
