A group exhibition titled Aether has opened at the Exhibition Gallery of the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum in Baku, APA reports.

The show brings together works by students of the LèRami art studio, led by artist and educator Ramila Shamilova, a member of the Azerbaijan Artists Union.

The exhibition features paintings by Terane Guliyeva, Lale Haviyeva, Sevinj Mehemeliyeva, Sabina Guliyeva, Fidan Velizade, Gunel Tashkin, Asiman Shukurova, Vusale Nuruzade, Gunel Amanova, Zumrud Mammadova, Tamilla Kazimli, Aytaj Nagiyeva, Nigar Kerimova, Ayten Bakhshiyeva, Ayten Huseynova Ismayilova, Nargiz Abilova, Ayan Huseynova, Aysu Mammadli, Suri Huseyn and Aynur Shahbalayeva.

According to the organisers, Aether reflects a wide range of artistic approaches, bringing together different themes, styles and techniques. The works on display highlight the participants’ individual perspectives and their evolving visual languages.

Ramila Shamilova said the exhibition marks an important stage in her students’ artistic development and showcases the results of her pedagogical work. She noted that the LèRami art studio primarily supports women over the age of thirty who were unable to pursue art earlier in life and are now returning to long held creative ambitions.

Shamilova began her artistic journey at the age of twelve. She studied at the Azim Azimzade Art College and the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Arts, and later completed an online course in contemporary art and ideas with the Museum of Modern Art in London. Alongside her own creative practice, she has curated numerous exhibitions and presented her works in respected venues.

The exhibition presents around eighty five works by thirty five artists. Alongside adult participants, the show also includes works by child artists. The pieces range from small A5 format works to large scale canvases measuring up to two metres, created in oil painting and graphic techniques.

Organisers describe Aether as a platform for creative self expression, allowing artists to explore personal experiences and inner narratives through visual art, while offering visitors an insight into a diverse and inclusive artistic community.
