FRAGMENTS OF BEING

Tuesday, November 30, 19:00 

Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum 

 

The Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum will host the opening ceremony of the exhibition Fragments of Being representing artworks by the famous Georgian artist Nino Kipshidze. 

The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, and the Embassy of Georgia to the Republic of Azerbaijan are the exhibition organizers. The exhibition displays 45 panels by Nino Kipshidze in textile applique technique.

Nino Kipshidze’s artworks of different shapes and colors constitute complex textile mosaics where the fabric fragments of various shades and textures create an amazing surface that visually breaks the limits of the two-dimensional plane and presents a completely new, special, unique, and multidimensional world. Her artworks are on the fine and astonishing verge of painting and textile. The artist designed many landscapes and still lifes, as well as figurative compositions. Nino Kipshidze’s creativity is replete with still lifes depicting different colored bouquets of flowers arranged literally petal by petal. She is also the author of the mystical landscapes often resembling the Eastern engravings or even the architecture elements due to the laconic colorful expression. 

 

Curator: Irina Koshoridze, Chief Curator of the Georgian National Museum, Professor of the Tbilisi State University

Exhibition runs until January 22, 2022.
