The son of Armenian refugees, Avedissian studied fine art at the School of Art and Design in Montreal, 1970-73, and applied arts at the National Higher School of Decorative Arts in Paris, 1974-76. Avedissian draws upon ideas of many different cultures ad traditions, his work ranging from photography to painted stencils to costume and textile design. His hand-dyed textiles include geometric forms inspired by Pharaonic patterns, Bedouin carpets, Silk Road brick walls or Syrian mother-of-pearl inlaid boxes. Through the use of repetitive iconoclastic images, Avedissian challenges social influences of Western sculptures in the Middle East.
