From: Shandad Bekhrad To: Karyna Shuliak Subject: Re: Karyna Shuliak inquired on "Untitled" (2015) by Bijan Ghaseminejad Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 19:41:10 +0000 Hi Karyna, Here is Bijan's bio: Bijan Ghaseminejad was born in Iran in 1978, and graduated from Tehran's Art University with a degree in carpeting. The use of handmade carpets as an indigenous medium in Bijan's art is symbolic of traditional Iranian art and culture; by combining it with painting and vintage documentary photography, he strives to find a new way in which he can express the challenges faced by contemporary Iranian society. Since 1998, Bijan has had a number of solo exhibitions, in cities including Tehran and Esfahan. I hope the above will satisfy your immediate needs. However, should you require further information, please let me know. Cheers, Shandad A boundless and borderless approach to exhibiting artworks and managing/promoting artists.

However, the good news is we are currently in the midst of bringing a good number of works from Tehran (where the work currently is) to Toronto and can include this one for you as well which would cost you nothing. Therefore, y
