Nasser Azam
Nasser Azam is a London-based British contemporary artist. Azam’s reputation was established in the early 1980s, with exhibitions at galleries in Birmingham and the West Midlands, including the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. He also featured in a BBC documentary. In 2007, after an extended period living and traveling in Japan, Europe and America, Azam became Artist-in-Residence at County Hall Gallery, London, mounting a series of major exhibitions of early and recent work, including the critically-acclaimed Anatomica in April 2008. He began working with sculpture, and in February 2008 a monumental bronze, The Dance, was unveiled on London’s South Bank. Pursuing an ongoing interest in painting as performance, in 2008 Azam completed two triptychs aboard a specially modified parabolic aircraft, in weightless conditions similar to those in space. Subsequently, in 2010 Azam travelled to Antarctica to complete a series of thirteen paintings in subzero conditions, using specially designed materials. Azam has collaborated with numerous artists in the worlds of fashion, music and film, and has initiated a number of projects benefiting younger artists, including an emerging artist investment fund, and a scholarship scheme for young sculptors to work in the Zahra Modern Art Foundry, launched by Azam in 2010. |
