Young Azerbaijani artist Ilgar Talibov’s paintings have been displayed in New York City.

The artist’s paintings from his "Feminine Collection" have been put on display at the legendary building-60 Hudson Street.

Formerly known as the Western Union, 60 Hudson Street is a telecommunications building spanning the entire block between Hudson Street, Thomas Street, Worth Street, and West Broadway in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.

The artist's gorgeous paintings-Egyptian Woman, Miss Ronnie and Blue Woman are displayed at the window on West Broadway.

Ilgar Talibov began painting nearly as soon as he could hold a brush. Winning his first art contest at age seven, Talibov continued to explore his own creative talents as he grew with age, eventually becoming a graphic designer and art director.

Inspired by the works of Cubists and Italian Futurist painters, Talibov considers his work to be a “Futuristic Cubism.” Though he was born at the tail end of the twentieth century, one could easily imagine Talibov at home with Picasso and Braque nearly a century earlier.

Many of his works are exhibited in Iran, Poland and UK.

Baku, where Ilgar Talibov was born and raised, is an ancient trading post city at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. It was this environment of shared culture and ideas that fostered Talibov’s creative spirit.
