The Heydar Aliyev Center (Azerbaijani: Heydər Əliyev Mərkəzi) is a 57,500 m2 (619,000 sq ft) building complex in Baku, Azerbaijan, designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid and noted for its distinctive architecture and flowing, curved style that eschews sharp angles. The main contractor, Dia Holdings, is owned by actors that are linked to Azerbaijan's ruling Aliyev family's network of offshore companies.
The center is named after Heydar Aliyev (1923–2003), the first secretary of Soviet Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and president of Azerbaijan Republic from October 1993 to October 2003.
Design
In 2007, Zaha Hadid was appointed as the design architect of the Center after a competition. The Center houses a conference hall (auditorium), a gallery hall and a museum. The project is intended to play an integral role in the intellectual life of the city. Located close to the city center, the site plays a pivotal role in the redevelopment of Baku.
The Heydar Aliyev Center represents a fluid form which emerges by the folding of the landscape's natural topography and by the wrapping of individual functions of the Center. All functions of the Center, together with entrances, are represented by folds in a single continuous surface. This fluid form gives an opportunity to connect the various cultural spaces whilst at the same time, providing each element of the Center with its own identity and privacy. As it folds inside, the skin erodes away to become an element of the interior landscape of the Center.
The Heydar Aliyev Center had an official soft-opening ceremony on 10 May 2012 held by the president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
Extending on eight floor levels, the center accommodates a 1,000-seat auditorium, temporary exhibition spaces, a conference center, workshops, and a museum.
The building was nominated for awards in 2013 at both the World Architecture Festival and the biennial Inside Festival. In 2014, the Center won the Design Museum's Design of the Year Award 2014 despite concerns about the site's human rights record. This makes Hadid the first woman to win the top prize in that competition.
In popular culture
The building was featured in Extreme Engineering, a documentary television series that airs on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. The episode called "Azerbaijan's Amazing Transformation" was aired on 22 April 2011 as part of season 9. The building was seen on The Grand Tour episode entitled "Sea to unsalty sea," with presenter Jeremy Clarkson praising the building and Hadid. The building was also featured on the "postcard" of Samra Rahimli for the postcard of Azerbaijan at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 and in a Google Doodle in 2017.
Interior
On 29 June 2012, the Heydar Aliyev Center held the official opening of Crans Montana Forum, attended by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, President of Macedonia Gjorge Ivanov, President of Montenegro Filip Vujanović, as well as foreign public figures, MPs, intellectuals, and business circles.
On 3 July 2012, the Center held the ceremony of the official seeing-off of the Azerbaijani delegation to take part in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. The ceremony was attended by the President Republic of Azerbaijan, President of the National Olympic Committee Ilham Aliyev and his spouse Mehriban Aliyeva. Photo banners reflecting the Olympic movement in Azerbaijan were installed in the lobby of the Heydar Aliyev Center. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev made a speech at the ceremony.
After repairs following a major fire (see below), on 2 and 3 November 2013, the Moscow music theater Helikon Opera under the direction of the People's Artist of Russia Dmitry Bertman, presented performances at the Heydar Aliyev Center. On 2 November, the Helikon-Opera presented a gala concert "The Enduring Love", a program that included lyric songs by Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner, Elton John, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and the Beatles. On 3 November, the artists performed the opera Siberia by the Italian composer Umberto Giordano staged by Dmitry Bertmann.
Exhibitions
"Life, Death, and Beauty"
On 21 June 2013, the Center held the exhibition of works by American artist Andy Warhol titled "Life, Death, and Beauty" supervised by Gianni Mercurio, dated for the 85th anniversary of the artist. The exhibition for the first time in Azerbaijan displayed over one hundred works by the artist, including featurettes by Warhol. There were shown photos of the author, portraits of the world film, music, and fashion stars, as well as other world-renowned works, including Flowers, Camouflage, The Last Supper, Male Hands Praying, and Electric Chair. On 6 August, the artist's birthday, Baku residents and visitors could freely visit the exhibition, which ran until 9 September.
"At the turn of the century"
On 1 October 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center held a personal exhibition of the People's Artist of Azerbaijan, vice-president of the Russian Academy of Arts Tahir Salahov, titled "At the turn of the century". The exhibition was dated for the 85th anniversary of the artist. His great contribution to the development of Azerbaijani fine art was highlighted at the exhibition opening. The artistic heritage of Salahov is an integral part of the art of not only Azerbaijan, but also the entire former Soviet Union. He is recognized as one of the founders of the "severe style" in painting. The exhibition featured over 100 works by the artist, created at different times, and his works on the carpets. Among the exhibits were the portraits of Heydar Aliyev, the composer Gara Garayev and Dmitri Shostakovich, the musician Mstislav Rostropovich, the works Aidan, Morning. Absheron, Koroglu, Absheron triptych – Ateshgah, The Caspian today, Maiden Tower, and other well-known works of the people's artist. The exhibition ran until 8 November 2013.
In 2017, the center also opened its doors to the Contemporary Turkish Art Exhibition, a collection of art pieces by various Turkish artists.
"Masterpieces of History" exhibition
On 27 May 2019, the Heydar Aliyev Center hosted the "Masterpieces of History" exhibition, which included ancient artifacts from Georgia and Azerbaijan.
The majority of artifacts belong to Gajar epoch and include ceramic and metal works, canvases, miniatures and belongings of Fatali Khan, including his portrait.
The exhibition also featured photographic collection by Dmitri Yermakov, a participant of the Russian-Ottoman War of 1877-1878.

"Inner Engineering: Technologies for Wellbeing" lecture by Sadguru
Jaggi Vasudev, also known as Sadguru, gave a lecture in the Heydar Aliyev Center on 10 November 2018. The subject constitutes a comprehensive system derived from centuries-old yoga studies aiming at profound and sustainable personal transformation.
Fire
On 20 July 2012, after a single performance, a fire started on the roof of the building at about 11:30am. It was quickly put out by firemen, and it was initially reported that the fire only damaged the roof of the building, leaving the interior only slightly damaged, mainly because of the water used by firemen to extinguish the fire. However, the damage was later reported to have had "grave consequences and material damage on a large scale." Officials concluded the fire resulted from negligence in the use of welding equipment in the roof; three Turkish contractors were subsequently charged under Azerbaijan's criminal code. After sixteen months of repairs, it was formally re-opened on 5 November 2013.
Mini Azerbaijan
The Mini Azerbaijan exhibition on the second floor features models of 24 historical and architectural buildings. Visitors can also learn about the history and architecture of buildings exhibited in both Azerbaijani and English.
Among exhibited buildings are those dated to the Middle Ages (Maiden Tower, Momine Khatun Mausoleum), 19th century (Baku Bazaar, Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Hall, Ismailiyya Palace), USSR era (Government House, Green Theatre), 21st century (Baku Crystal Hall, Flame Towers) as well as the buildings being constructed (Baku Olympic Stadium, State Oil Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan).

Franz Gertsch's hyperrealistic Johanna II, seen from an angle, at the Hess Collection in the Napa Valley.
"Mother" is not just a women, It is the power which gives birth to the world and nourishes it.
This universal truth is portrayed in this painting of a countryside mother feeding water to her child. Some water drops are falling down feeding a flying sparrow which signifies that love and motherhood pervade everywhere.
Every minute detail is painted with precision: the drops of water falling down, the sunshine, the shadow, chubby chicks of the boy who is desperate and receptive to 'drink' mother's love through water, and the power and the strength in the mother's hand. You can even notice the veins of her hand.
Words just fall short to describe this 'Masterpiece' by artist Lalji Joshi. Its title "Amrit-Dhara" means the flow of nectar of a mother's love. The water drops feeding the sparrow symbolises the universality of the Mother's love.
This Masterpiece will fill your wall and your heart with the universal love and motherhood. Get this painting only on hyperbrush.com

About the work
Title: Serenity Lake
Art form: 3-D
Medium: Oil on Resin (Sculpture), Acrylic on Canvas (Painting)
Year created: 2011
Description of work: Serenity Lake is a monumental 12 x 8 x 5' installation that combines Carole Feuerman's hyperrealistic sculpture with Ron Burkhardt's abstract painting.
The collaborative work, whose theme is water, took over a year to create, and reflects the timeless innocence of youth. The sun shining on the child's face, her arms around the colorful beach ball, and the sandy shore remind us of a time of peaceful playfulness, where nothing else matters but the moment. Those quiet, in-between moments where you connect with your thoughts and your soul. With "Serenity Lake", the viewer waits for the child to open her eyes while we wonder what she is thinking.
Michigan native Ron Burkhardt painted the vast acrylic and oil
canvas of his impression of Lake Michigan on which "Serenity" rests, the gorgeous body of water that stretches through miles of beach towns.
This sensual juxtaposition emerges as a joyful tribute to the beauty and ever-changing mysteries of water and life itself.

Born and raised in Bali where the consumption of alcohol is common, Dodit Artawan is not at all foreign to the beverage. Dodit Artawan is concerned about the problems that alcoholism brings, and has chose to depict them through his works. Starting from local alcohols- rice wine, palm wine, and arak (liquor made from rice, palm, or coconut trees), he has continued exploring the topic of alcoholism, eventually venturing into the more famous brands of liquor. Dodit Artawan is interested in the effects of reflection and transparency on his subjects, and hence depicts them in a hyperrealistic manner. His works are not far from his lifestyle, and he is just appropriating the lifestyle of the contemporary society, with no exception to Indonesians', including his own.

Whoever goes to see Marcel Berlanger's latest project will be entering a strange world of optical illusions. This Brussels-based artist is presenting an installation in which painting, light and sound resonate simultaneously within a single space: a large platform in the brand new centre for contemporary art, WIELS. Berlanger usually paints on supports he himself has designed, consisting of liquid resin and translucent fibreglass, and covered with a coat of reflective paint. Because of the fibrous structure of the supports and the hyperrealistic rendition of both geometric and human figures, his work has occasionally been described as photographic painting. In TORE, Julie Petit-Etienne's lighting design further intensifies the sweet taste of the optical illusion: a succession of short cycles of light plunges the exhibition space and the work into varying shades of colour, thereby suggesting movement. These ongoing transformations will stimulate, tickle and unsettle the viewer's perception.

La structure fibreuse du support et la reproduction hyperréaliste font que l’on qualifie parfois ses œuvres de peintures photographiques. Dans TORE, le concept lumière de Julie Petit-Etienne intensifie les subtilités de l’illusion optique.

Clad in robes darker than the void, and crowned with a sigil pulsing in arcane violet light, the Arch-Warlock of the Abyss emerges from the shadows. His crimson eyes blaze with forbidden knowledge, and every talisman across his chest whispers a different curse. Behind him, violet flames twist the air like living sorcery — a veil of power shielding a master of necromancy and ancient rites.
A hyperrealistic reimagining infused with black and purple mysticism.
Inspired by an original dark fantasy portrait — this version delves deeper into the occult, the regal, and the otherworldly.

Self-explanatory really: what could be more calming and peaceful in the middle of a hectic day than watching swan glide gracefully across the lake, knowing they too are paddling like f*ck beneath the surface, only to find that the reason they are heading across so quickly is to beat the cr@p out of another beautiful bird at the other side.
But sitting there, with the breeze, the ripples, the sunshine (sometimes) and the birds is bliss ... and sadly invariably the time passes far too quickly and too soon it's time to head back to the office.
And yes, another HDR image, but again I've tried to keep it restrained and go for "realistic" instead of surrealistic or hyperrealistic.

Salvador Dali - Guillaume Tell, detail father [1930]
Paris, Centre Pompidou
***********************************************************************************
Guillaume Tell (here representing the father of Salvador Dali) stands on the edge of a village fountain, a pair of scissors in his left hand, his penis hanging out of his trousers. With his right leg, he kneels on a pedestal decorated with a relief of a seductive woman (Gala Éluard) and a phallic symbol.
***********************************************************************************
Psychoanalytical kaleidoscope
The Catalan surrealist Salvador Dalí (* 11.5.1904, †23.1.1989) had already immersed himself in Sigmund Freud's writings during his studies and developed his own method of translating images of the unconscious into hyperrealistic painting. He interpreted the freedom hero William Tell as an authoritarian perpetrator figure who threatens his son. In this dream image, Dalí equates him with his father, whom he must defeat in his Oedipal fantasy in order to attain freedom. He depicts the father as a raging man with his sex exposed, pursuing the son with a pair of scissors. The latter turns away in his fear of castration. The relief of a woman, on whom the father is leaning his knee in a possessive posture, shows the married Gala Éluard, with whom Dalí lived together, much to his father's indignation: this is an attempt to expel her from paradise. At the top left, the father is playing on a grand piano on which lies a donkey carcass - a symbol from the film "An Andalusian Dog", which Dalí made with Louis Buñuel in 1929. The white stallion can be imagined as the unconscious force with which the escape from the father's power is achieved.

This image was created with the "Paint daubs" artistic filter in Photoshop. Due to the simplicity of the subject- this artistic filter (adjusted to the correct scale) just snapped into place and provided (what I feel) to be a beautiful simplified and very painterly rendition of this subject. It inspires me to try to duplicate this theme with real paints on canvas - lighter graduaded lines over a contrasting graded background for a hyperrealistic yet abstract effect. .. and then I wonder maybe I already made the art... do I need to bother with paint? Is this cheating? Is this done?

The main characteristic of my works is a kind of duality which finds many ways to express itself: abstract versus realism, ubiquity, diachronicity, microscopic and macroscopic, and so on. I’m always trying to engage in extreme or contrary dialogue. In abstract compositions, some hyperrealistic figures will make you try to find some kind of space, but you will keep wondering if you really have to see it that way, because something flat will try to empeach you. Somehow, you will feel like you are hanging between two worlds.
This may very well be a reflection of my background . Born in Korea — a divided country — I live in France, and feel like I exist between two worlds. In my daily life, I often serve as a link of sorts between members of the Korean community and other groups, and somehow, this interesting condition also reveals another side : the sense of being nowhere. That feeling has made its way into my paintings regardless of my intentions.

Recently, I've stareted personal project called "Face It!" ( www.flickr.com/photos/recon_lister/sets/72157629907773317/ ) but very soon I've realised I want to take it to another visual level -more colors, more hyperrealistic, more lighting. So I'm starting Face it! 2.0 and I'm excited about it. (personal note: I didn't know about Martin Schoellers (awesome) Close Up series in time I started:)

Marcel Berlanger : Tore
Whoever goes to see Marcel Berlanger's latest project will be entering a strange world of optical illusions. This Brussels-based artist is presenting an installation in which painting, light and sound resonate simultaneously within a single space: a large platform in the brand new centre for contemporary art, WIELS. Berlanger usually paints on supports he himself has designed, consisting of liquid resin and translucent fibreglass, and covered with a coat of reflective paint. Because of the fibrous structure of the supports and the hyperrealistic rendition of both geometric and human figures, his work has occasionally been described as photographic painting. In TORE, Julie Petit-Etienne's lighting design further intensifies the sweet taste of the optical illusion: a succession of short cycles of light plunges the exhibition space and the work into varying shades of colour, thereby suggesting movement. These ongoing transformations will stimulate, tickle and unsettle the viewer's perception.
Qui fait l’expérience du nouveau projet de Marcel Berlanger, pénètre dans le monde merveilleux de l’illusion optique. Le plasticien bruxellois propose une installation où la peinture, la lumière et le son résonnent dans un même espace, une immense plate-forme dans le centre d’art contemporain flambant neuf de WIELS. Berlanger confectionne lui-même ses supports. Ils sont composés de fibre de verre transparente rigidifiée à la résine liquide, qu’il recouvre de peinture reflétant la lumière. La structure fibreuse du support et la reproduction hyperréaliste font que l’on qualifie parfois ses œuvres de peintures photographiques. Dans TORE, le concept lumière de Julie Petit-Etienne intensifie les subtilités de l’illusion optique. Des cycles lumineux alternants immergent l’espace et l’œuvre dans diverses tonalités et suggèrent diverses dynamiques. Chaque métamorphose aiguillonne, titille et stimule la perception du visiteur.
