Azerbaijani Painters: Father and Son Tal'at and Shahin Shikhaliyev
The American Islamic Congress and Karabakh Foundation for the Culture, Arts and Heritage of Azerbaijan proudly present a special reception and artist's talk featuring the work of Baku-born painter Shahin Shikhaliyev and his late father Tal'at, both of whom have exhibited internationally and throughout the US.
Shahin, hailing from a long line of artists, will be on hand to discuss Azerbaijani art traditions, including the colorful, psychology-inspired pieces in both his and his father's collections. Members of the Karabakh Foundation will also join us to answer questions about the vibrant Muslim culture of Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus. This evening of art, conversation, and refreshments is free and open to the public.
