André Tehrani holds a BFA and an MFA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2008/2010) and was Office for Contemporary Art Norway’s selected resident at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels, Belgium, in 2013.

Tehrani’s practice can be described as post-digital abstraction, utilizing labour-intensive painterly processes and drawing inspiration from color charts, graphic design software and American late modernism. The grid structures in his work draw on non-Western and premodern mosaic traditions. Spanning painting as well as industrially sprayed wall-mounted objects, his meticulously treated surfaces explore the circulation and digital processing of graphic information.

Tehrani’s works are represented in the collections of The National Museum of Norway, the Equinor Art Programme, KORO, Nitja Centre for Contemporary Art and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
