Armin Abedi (b. 1991, Iran) is a figurative painter based in Vancouver. His practice examines the human body through the lens of psychoanalysis, identity, and cultural taboos. Abedi’s work challenges conventional representations of the figure by introducing elements of distortion and transformation, creating a visual language that reflects psychological and corporeal change. He obtained his BFA from the University of Science and Culture in Tehran, Iran, in 2015, and has exhibited in several shows across Iran, Turkey, and Lebanon.
