Reza Abedini

Reza Abedini (born 1967) is a visual artist and graphic designer from Tehran, Iran. Between 1985 and 1990, he studied for degrees in design and the visual arts at the School of Fine Arts in Tehran and the Art University of Tehran. Subsequently, he has been working as a graphic designer since 1989. Abedini founded his studio, Reza Abedini Studio, in 1993. In his work, Abedini often blurs the lines between design and art. He engages with his Iranian Heritage in creative ways, often through calligraphy and typography. Typography is a crucial aspect of Abedini’s work, and he utilizes the Persian language as both an aesthetic and conceptual element in his designs. Reza Abedini was a participating artist for the first iteration of Framer Framed’s exhibition Crisis of History, between 2 May to 28 August 2014, curated by Robert Kluijver.
