First Faig Ahmed exhibition in Baku

For the first time, carpets by the contemporary Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed were exhibited in his home country.

A major exhibition dedicated to Ahmed’s work — a compelling fusion of traditional carpet weaving and contemporary digital techniques — was shown at the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum in Baku. ‘Faig Ahmed: Epoch 2011–2024′ charted the artist’s creative evolution, from subtle textile distortions to fully immersive installations.

The exhibition highlighted the striking progression in Ahmed’s practice. What began as delicate interventions in traditional rug patterns has transformed into bold, sculptural reimaginings — carpets that seem to spill and expand beyond their frames, across floors and walls.
