Arman Arun

Arman Arun, is a classically trained artist who recently moved to Canada from Iran. He is the first prize winner of the National Student Painting Competition of 2014.  He founded Boom Art School in 2016 after teaching in several  private art institutes and has participated in over 30 group exhibitions in Iran, Turkey, Armenia and Canada. He most recently exhibited his work at IDS 2025 in Toronto.

Toronto’s bridges and structures stand alongside lines and branches recalling nature, taking on a presence of passage, transition, and quiet. The pieces are open; free lines flowing through space. Forms and lines intertwine, and tones are greyer then Arman’s normal palate. Compositions stretch across striking variations in scale and orientation: from completely vertical to completely horizontal. This approach reflects shifts in his surroundings and a fresh perspective on the environment, portraying a way of living that is simpler, quieter, and deeper.
