Shahin Afrassiabi (born 1963, in Tehran) is an artist and author who has been based in London, Berlin and Spain.[1][2]

His early work can be characterised as mixed media installations, using everyday building materials and domestic objects in juxtaposition, including use of shop window displays as a motif.[3] It has been suggested his work is influenced by architectural practice and early 20th century design, including Russian Constructivism.[4] More recent works have included oil paintings and drawings.[1]
