Khalilov’s continuous expanses of colour evoke the nostalgic scenery of the Absheron peninsula and reflect the artist’s own reality. Following on from experiments in colour and form that began with Malevich’s ‘Black Square’ Khalilov draws instead from nature, vast skies and seascapes that disrupt the expectation of realism or contemporary conceptual art. Art historian and critic Grigory Anisimov has described Ashraf Murad’s work as magical realist, which can also suit the spirit of Khalilov.
