Sasha Raphael vom Dorp is a multidisciplinary artist living in the high desert of northern New Mexico whose works explore the rich territory between the most subtle elements on earth.
Born in 1972 at the foot of the Sangre De Cristo mountains in Taos, New Mexico, Sasha has been an artist in various mediums all his life. Through painting, kinetic sculpture, photography, and interactive video installations, he has explored elemental artistic transactions and the human experience for decades.
For the last twenty years, Sasha has mined a rich vein of work at the intersection of light, water, and sound, creating an original technical and artistic vernacular all his own.
Deeply influenced by the Light and Space school’s artistic tradition, Sasha’s work blends his deep love for the natural world, modern physics, and the metaphysical borderlands between the two.
He utilizes a custom-designed and built system to support his explorations allowing him to see, and record sound waves interacting with pure sunlight, and matter.
From this, Sasha has created a series of interactive video installations and limited edition prints exhibited and collected around the world.
His work has been featured in the New York Times and on PBS.
Having lived in and worked in Sweden, Mexico, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Los Angeles, Sasha returned home to the open sky of Taos, where he lives with his wife and four children.
