The artist Faig Ahmed, a native to Baku in Azarbaijan, is a talented carpet weaver, and expresses his talent by reinventing carpets through distortions, cuts and swollen parts. His rugs become three-dimensional, much the architecture of a mosque’s minaret, spiars reaching toward the sky, or spread across the pavement like multi-coloured waves, or even a mutation of a small, traditional design that transforms into a magma of colours. Sometimes Faig contaminates elaborate designs with geometric quadrants in the same shades, others he stretches the design into irregular bends. The desired, obstinate imperfection becomes an instrument through which an archaic domestic accessory becomes an original and modern artistic expression.
