Parviz Abasov’s solo exhibition has opened at Baku Museum
Centre, Azernews reports.
The exhibition titled “Biz kimik, məclis onun məclisidir” was
dedicated to the prominent poet, master of the ghazal and meykhana
genre, Honored Artist Aliagha Vahid (1895-1965).
The exhibition displays 80 paintings, 20 illustrations, and 13
sculptures.
The exhibition is very creative and non-standard, and this
applies not only to the artist’s art works.
The guests were greeted by musicians who sat at the table. All
in the best traditions of a tent toyu (wedding tents).
Then the guests were presented with a performance by actors and
artist Parviz Abasov, who sang lines from the verse “Biz kimik,
məclis onun məclisidir” which is reflected in the title of the
exhibition. These lines are heard in the film “Gazelkhan”, which
tells about the life of Aliagha Vahid.
In the gallery room, imposing men in aero caps played backgammon
while meykhana played in the background. They resembled the heroes
of the artist’s paintings.
Then the guests got acquainted with the exhibition. The main
idea of the exhibition is to show old Baku and preserve the
traditions of that time.
Each of the works presented in the exhibition contains memorable
moments of old Baku, 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 art works 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
prompted the artist to create a number of works on this topic.
These works form a significant part of the artist’s exhibition,
which strives to reflect a combination of tradition and
modernity.
The main factor indicating his interest in traditionalism is the
sincere images that he creates.
These are the artist’s compositions “Men’s salon”, “Back to
homeland”, “No money, no funny”, “Puzzle”, “Dear Baku residents and
guests of our city”, “Kubrick”, “Li homies”, “Wife, if only I had
money, let’s take a walk”, “Azneft”, “Face of Baku” and other
works.
Parviz Abasov’s illustrations are no less remarkable in theme
and technique.
In the examples of illustrations he created, one can observe an
appeal to various topics, as well as to the image of Baku.
In the artist’s compositions, the leading place is occupied by
elements of collage and installation, which are most reflected in
the picturesque subjects.
Parviz Abasov’s paintings demonstrate the synthesis and
successful unification of two different times.
The exhibition also displays interesting paintings from the
“Love is…” series and sculptures of the famous rapper Tupac Amaru
Shakur, who formed a separate page in performing culture and
entered the history of world music.
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.
Since 2019, he has been a member of the Azerbaijan Artists’
Union. He actively participates in many exhibitions and art
competitions.
In 2016, Abasov took part in the exhibition titled “Shoes”,
organized by Gallery 25, with the sculptural work “New Step”.
Parviz Abasov also participated in the art competition “Shipping
– 160”, organized in 2018 in connection with the 160th anniversary
of the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO), and the
exhibition “100 Shades of the Century”, dedicated to the 100th
anniversary of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, which was held at
the Heydar Aliyev Centre in 2023.
In 2019, the artist created a bust of the great Turkish
commander, General of the Ottoman Army Nuri Pasha, which was
installed in the Turkish Embassy in Azerbaijan.
