Hadis Vahidi (b. 1982, Tehran) is an Iranian-Canadian painter and sculptor based in Vancouver, known for her multidisciplinary approach that integrates oil painting on canvas and mixed media sculpture. Her work delves into the ever-evolving nature of lifeforms, exploring how forms can be experienced beyond traditional metaphors, symbols, or recognizable icons.
Vahidi's art invites viewers to engage emotionally and sensorially, encouraging a deeper, more intuitive connection. Her sculptures build upon her painting practice, expanding it into three-dimensional space to challenge and redefine the boundaries of what painting can be.
In her work, Vahidi confronts conventional notions of beauty, skillfully blending the 'beautiful' and the 'grotesque' to craft unique, thought-provoking aesthetic experiences.
