Today, many artists find it interesting to modernize the well-established national traditions of various peoples of the world. The unusually beautiful and complex national patterns that adorn the luxurious Azerbaijani carpets are real works of decorative art, beating which you can get an unexpected and very original result.
In modern music, national oriental tunes are often traced, and illustrators and artists are increasingly using folk ornaments in their works. Faig Ahmed (Faig Ahmed), an artist from Baku, decided to play with the skillful patterns that traditionally decorate the luxurious Azerbaijani carpets. It is difficult to attribute Faig's work to any particular type of contemporary art. Nevertheless, the extraordinary hand-woven rugs presented by him fascinate, inspire and even hypnotize. The artist transforms patterns by stretching and blurring the pattern, as well as creating optical illusions on classic painted carpets.
An extraordinary combination of national traditions and modern views of decorative arts is a key aspect in the work of an ambitious artist. Faig makes bold experiments, challenging established customs and offering a fresh look at the great cultural heritage of the peoples of the Caucasus.
"Magic carpets 2014" (Magic Carpets 2014) - another interesting project from an artist from France Miguel Chevalier (Miguel Chevalier). His interpretation of the carpet is an interactive light screen projecting abstract patterns onto the floor in a church. Sacre Coeur in Casablanca, Morocco.
