Adrian Gor

Adrian Gor graduated from the Interdisciplinary Doctorate program at Concordia University in 2015. His doctoral research was supervised by professors from Theological Studies (Dr. Lucian Turcescu), Art History (Dr. Loren Lerner), and Fine Arts (Prof. Tim Clark).

His doctoral thesis explored the invisible reality within an interactive work of art, based on the technique, method and Byzantine theology of the icon. This involved integrating various disciplines such as visual criticism, cultural theory, phenomenology, interactive art theory, performance theory and Byzantine theology.

Adrian Gor is the Program Coordinator of the Fine Arts Diploma at the Ottawa School of Art, where he teaches courses in Art History Survey and Figure Drawing.

His current artworks, available at www.adriangor.com, delve more specifically into themes of masculinity and patriarchy. He draws from Western and Contemporary Art Historical narratives while incorporating elements from religious iconography and motifs from prehistoric and folk culture.

His work has been exhibited throughout Canada, Europe and the United States.
