WNAM MONITORING: Baku Museum Center invites art lovers to enjoy Parviz Abasov’s solo exhibition on April 26.
The exhibition titled “Biz kimik, məclis onun məclisidir” dedicated to the prominent poet, master of the ghazal and meykhana genre, Honored Artist Aliagha Vahid (1895-1965).
Parviz Abasov is one of the talented young artists representing contemporary Azerbaijani art.
He is the author of numerous works in the fields of painting, sculpture and illustration, reflecting an individual creative approach with a very interesting artistic style.
According to the concept, the opening of the exhibition is planned to begin with an original show, which will start with the demonstration of a fragment from the film “Ghazelkhan”, telling about the life of Aliagha Vahid.
The film fragment features the lines from the verse “Biz kimik, məclis onun məclisidir”, which is reflected in the title of the exhibition.
During the introductory part, four or six actors will portray characters created by the artist in colorful costumes against the backdrop of music from this film. This will be followed by the grand opening of the exhibition.
The main idea of the exhibition is to preserve old Baku and its traditions. Each of the art works contains memorable moments of ancient Baku city, taking the viewer on a journey through time.
Parviz Abasov’s love for Baku and its traditions complements the works not only in theme, but also in style and drawing technique. Such paintings as “Mardakan”, “Bilgah”, “Simple Evenings” describe the wedding traditions of the past, the streets of Baku and its residents playing backgammon in the mehelle (courtyard).
The fading traditions of old Baku and devotion to the city attracted the artist to create a number of works on this topic.
These art works form a significant part of the exhibition, demonstrating the decorative line in the work of the artist, who strives to reflect the combination of tradition and modernity in these paintings.
The main factor indicating his interest in nationality and traditionalism is the sincere images that he creates.
