Bedros Aslanian – Artist Biography

Born in Alexandria in 1937, Bedros Aslanian began studying at the age of sixteen under Professor Silvio Bicchi and graduated from the Beaux Arts d'Alexandria in 1961. He won first prize at the Biennale des Pays Mediterraneens in both 1958 and 1960. In 1965 Aslanian moved to Montreal. He currently spends time between his residences in Montreal and Greece. His works have been exhibited across Canada, the United States, Europe and Japan.

Aslanian is a painter of striking individuality. His canvases are records of people and places, including the narrow streets of the Greek Islands and the vast landscapes of Quebec. Thick brush strokes give dimension to the colours and create an emotional impact reminiscent of Van Gogh and Utrillo. His use of a variety of media, including tempera, oil, and pastel favours strong colouring - a synthesis of Impressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.

Aslanian's work can be found in private collections in Montreal, Athens and Paris.

Daphne OdjigDaphne Odjig, Canadian Indigenous Artist and Icon Dies at 97. Click here for more details.

Odjig is frequently referred to as the "Grandmother of Indigenous Art." She has been the recipient of many awards, honours and recognitions for her works, to name a few: The Order of Canada, the Governor General's Award, and eight Honorary Doctorates. Her works have been shown in the National Gallery of Canada, The McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Art Gallery of Ontario.


She established the first native-run fine art print house in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1971. Known as 'Odjig Indian Prints,' this print house was so successful that it evolved into an Indigenous gallery space in 1974, called the New Warehouse Gallery, run by Odjig and her husband, Chester Beavon. She was also a founding member of the Indian Group of Seven. This artistic group's purpose was to promote Contemporary Indigenous art and artists.
