Pardiss Amerian is an Iranian-Canadian visual artist currently based in Montreal, where she is completing her Master's in Fine Arts at Concordia University. Her practice is a process-based exploration of painting and collage driven by narrative asides, as a way to address temporality, transhistoricity, and the lyric potential of an imagined elsewhere. Amerian holds a BFA from OCAD University and has exhibited her work in Toronto and Montreal. Recent exhibitions include Zalucky Contemporary (Toronto, ON), Espacio Pinea (Cadiz, Spain), Gallery Yves Laroche (Montreal, QC), and 282 Symington Avenue (Toronto, ON). Her work has been supported by the Tom Hopkins Memorial Award and can be found in private collections in Canada.
