Overview

We are delighted to present her shey qayidacaq(1) a highly anticipated group show featuring Central Asia's leading contemporary and modern artists, including Mikayil Abdullayev, Gennadiy Brijatyuk, Aida Mahmudova and Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich. The first show to exhibit works from the region since the gallery’s inception in 2003, Gazelli Art House examines national identity, tradition and history through this exceptional oeuvre. Located between East and West, the works combine tradition and folklore with an array of genres and techniques, adding to a unique contemporary art discourse. (1) her shey qayidacaq translates to what comes around, goes around in Azeri, in reference to the cyclical patterns of history and its effect on regional development and national identity.
