The end of October will see a personal exhibition by famous Azerbaijani artist Rashad Mehdiyev in Baku.

The exhibition will be arranged to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the global brand Hennessy Cognac House at the Museum of Modern Art.

It will feature Mehdiyev’s new art works including a number of unusual artistic compositions, sculptures and installations. The history of the House is inextricably linked with the art world.

Hennessy has been celebrating a significant event in its history - 250th anniversary of the Cognac House since March 2015. The world tour of Hennessy, including unique cultural events, symbolizing House's long-standing relation with the world of art, has been organized in major capitals of the world.

The address of the venue is Yusif Safarov street 50. The exhibition will be held between October 28 and November 8.

Mehdiyev is a graduate of Baku Art School named after Azim Azimzade, Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Art and Turkish Mimar Sinan University, and the winner of the numerous international awards, including "Tears of Chanaggala" competition in Turkey and award of the Russian Public Foundation "Vera".

Creativity of Mehdiyev is a bright phenomenon in the modern art of Azerbaijan. Sensitive and touching works of the artist are created in different styles and genres, but interconnected with a perceptible immanent idea.

Works of Mehdiyev are highly individual and built on the syncretism of medieval Oriental miniatures, classic art of the European Renaissance and surrealistic aesthetics.

Doctor of Philosophy, Mehdiyev is the only Azerbaijan's artist whose works were displayed in the UN office in Vienna in 2006.

His creativity was also exhibited in Baku, Vienna, Venice, Istanbul, Tbilisi, St. Petersburg and Moscow.
