The Island
Solo exhibition / Baku MoMA
27 September - 27 October 2014
-
Creativity of subtle and slightly mysterious
artist Rashad Babayev does not forbear a
direct talk. Masterfully possessing the language
of the non-figurative art and without
attaching great importance to household
details, the artist aspires achieving rather
intuitive comprehension of the whole and his
pieces are distinguished with timelessness,
fancy pointlessness and surprising simplicity.
Great Suzuki said that it is possible to
construct the house without any drawing, it is
quite sufficient to go into “Mushin” state –
conscious plunging into sub-consciousness.
The exhibition is metaphorically called “THE
ISLAND”, as if, it plunges a spectator into this
world of Zen mysticism. It seems that in his
works Rashad Babayev is in constant contact
with eternity.
