Faig Ahmed takes the patterns of traditional Azerbaijani rugs and distorts them to create new textiles that appear to be melting off the wall. The designs are far from traditional and far from boring.
From his bio,
"Faig Ahmed is an internationally recognized artist from Baku, Azerbaijan, who represented Azerbaijan at the Venice Biennale in 2007. He is well known for his conceptual works that utilize traditional decorative craft and the visual language of carpets into contemporary sculptural works of art. His works reimagine ancient crafts and create new visual boundaries by deconstructing traditions and stereotypes."
