Kamal BiographyKamal is an Iranian-born multidisciplinary artist whose vibrant career spans more than four decades. Based in Montreal, Canada, his artistic journey began amidst the revolutionary upheaval of 1978–1979 and was profoundly shaped by his experiences during the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq war. Under the guidance of the esteemed Iranian photographer Chehrenegar, Kamal honed his craft and emerged as a professional documentary photographer. Celebrated for his commitment to long-term projects, Kamal gained recognition through his collaboration with Quebecois sculptor Stanley Lewis, which led to an acclaimed exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2006. His work has since graced prestigious galleries, including the Devonian Gardens in Calgary, UQAM in Montreal, and numerous venues across Iran. Kamal’s innovative photography and mixed-media creations have been published internationally and are cherished in public and private collections worldwide. Among his recent achievements is an exhibition at the Museum of Masters and Artisans of Quebec, where he artfully examined the connections between Canada’s Indigenous peoples and Iran’s nomadic communities. In 2023, Kamal completed a transformative residency with Subway Longueuil and the University of Sherbrooke. The resulting project, showcased from January to March 2024 at Subway Longueuil, stands as a testament to his enduring passion and evolving artistic vision.
