Author Description

The barriers and edges of language, its meanings and its limits or the confusions and oppressive rules of language become a sort of visual poetry in the hands of Azerbaijani artist Babi Badalov (Lerik, Azerbaijan, 1959). In his work, almost always handcrafted, we come across linguistic constructs that unfold in drawings on paper or canvas, in collages and/or mural installations that form the core of an oeuvre that has also explored performance, poetic writing and other forms of artistic expression.
