Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei
°1994, - lives and works in Brussels (BE)
In her multimedia practice Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei explores the contrast between the fluidity and invasiveness of nature/humanity and the controlled and impersonal language of technology. An attraction to the irrational and emotional, took her from architecture to the autonomous visual arts. Sheikh Rezaei often uses uncontrollable elements in her work, such as movement, organic materials and themes of memory. She also often uses personal, intimate experiences to further explore spatiality. In her works, which range from pencil drawings to videos, sculptures and installations, she always seeks a balance between logic and intuition, control and self-analysis.
Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei studied Medien Architektur at the Bauhaus University in Weimar (DE) in 2017 and graduated as an architect in Experimental Architectural Design at the Faculty of Architecture K.U. Leuven in Ghent (BE) in 2018. In 2019-2020 she became a guest lecturer for the subject Mixed Media Interior Design at LUCA School of Arts in both Brussels and Ghent. Since 2019 Sheikh Rezaei started working for Architecten Jan De Vylder Inge Vinck. In June 2021, Sheikh Rezaei took the step to fully pursue her own art practice. Since then, she has shown her work at, among others, Fuse, Zurich; C-MINE, Genk; CC-Strombeek, Grimbergen; Lichtekooi, Antwerp; and Museum Dhondt- Dhaenens, Deurle.
