Ayaz Kamani

Ayaz Kamani has been an art practitioner for many years. Becoming an artist was a gradual process for Ayaz that took shape during his formal training at university where he completed a BFA. Schooling primarily taught him a more cognitive approach to art creation, which he liked because it broadened its social application. His art often encapsulates his wry, straight up, quirky humour. He states in true Ayaz fashion: “Creating art has become a habit, somewhere in between masturbating and eating”. He was born in Winnipeg, however he grew up and became an artist in Vancouver, where he now devotes his time to Gallery Gachet and VIVO Media Arts Centre.
