Faig Ahmed Creates Psychedelic Rugs From Traditional Azerbaijani Textiles

Faig Ahmed’s latest project focuses on making contemporary carpets from classical Azerbaijani textiles. Ahmed graduated from the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in Baku in 2004. His background as an artist covers painting, video and installation as well as other mediums; however, his attention is currently focused on working with textile and sculpture. 

Traditional Azerbaijani carpets rely heavily on geometric and symmetrical patterns, stemming from historical influence. The carpets are usually limited to be rectangular or square in shape. By dismantling the laws that govern the structure and pattern of these fabrics, Ahmed converges his love of ancient culture to create a psychedelic visualization. By refurbishing the traditional compositions into a contemporary sculpture, he disassembles their stable nature and injects motion into a pre-existing lifeless object.

The patterns break away from their rigid symmetry and melt away from the tapestry into a colorful puddle. Ahmed also adds a digital effect to the rugs by pixelating fragments and blank spaces on the drapery. Overall, the artist intentionally creates an interesting union between contemporary art and ancient Azerbaijani roots.

Photos from the anti-terrorism rally you didn’t see

Muslims of all factions merged with a Shiite religious gathering on Sunday to rally for peace. Shiite Muslims gathered in the vicinity of the White House to mourn the 680 AD martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Mohammad’s grandson, and the reason for Islam’s splintering into Sunni and Shiite sects. But before long, the gathering became about so much more.
