The Department of Art and Art History at the University of Saskatchewan is pleased to announce this series of talks from our MFA candidates Class of 2021. These online presentations will allow guests access to the projects and processes of artists working through circumstances unprecedented in their lifetimes with rigour and resilience. Their practices are as varied as the individuals producing them, not joined thematically but connected through space and time. Please join us.
About the artist
Mohsen AhiAndy (he/him) is an Iranian artist/designer who currently lives in Saskatoon. His background in industrial design (BDes/MDes) has had an evident impact on his artistic practices. Mohsen’s artistic production generally maneuvers between two main approaches: studio installations that are mostly made through a trial and experimental process, and outdoor projects and site-specific sculptures that are fabricated through a definite and design process. The visual language Mohsen utilizes in his practice is drawn from the geography of his Iranian upbringing, which is filled with memories of a chaotic revolution and the political and social crisis which followed. In Mohsen’s works, alteration of form, structure, physical matter, and material are parts of his instinctive exploration, a process that helps him to understands the notion of his psyche as an independent meaningful object cluttered with layers of complicated realities.
