Martin Grasser is an artist and designer based in the Bay Area. He produces work using an iterative process, isolating core concepts and expanding upon them through repetition. At the root of his practice is his interpretation of letterforms—what most see as plain text, Martin sees as art. He explores the transformation of type in everyday media, from printed books and magazines to digital newspapers and code, and reveals them as a universe of vibrant abstraction.

In 2022, Martin released his first generative project Squares, marking his entry into the NFT space. Later that year, Martin collaborated with the ATP and Art Blocks Engine to release LOVE, the first digital art collection generated from in-match sports data. In 2023, Martin collaborated with computer art pioneer Vera Molnár to create the long form project Themes and Variations.

Martin’s work moves between fine art, corporate design, and type design. His most notable projects include the late Twitter Bird logo, Nike’s Choose Go film, and the prize-nominated typeface Color Dot Font.
