About the Work
About the Artist

The panel by Ruslan Mazloev was made from cattail, this is a perennial aquatic plant. The author used traditional weaving technique Arjen.

Initially, Arjen was an interior item for the convenience of people, they also prayed on ardjen, the child took the first steps on a mat. Ruslan likes that his works are used in interiors now, that Arjen lives in the modern world. Natural materials always bring comfort and harmony to the interior. The Arjens have their own unrepeatable vegetable smell and energy.

Arjen cannot be made mechanically, it is only handmade. You need to feel the tension and density of the material. You can understand this only with your fingers.

Ruslan Mazloev makes large art objects from cattail, this is a perennial aquatic plant. Traditionally, among the Circassians (Adyghi), women were engaged in weaving in authentic technique Arjen. Since early childhood Ruslan liked weaving and decided to keep on working in this technique, transforming and experimenting with it.

All his personal exhibitions are thematic. Ruslan takes a theme that inspires him and makes a series of wicker compositions. Sometimes these are just relief formats and sometimes three-dimensional objects

Ardzhen cannot be made on mechanical machines, it is only handmade. You need to feel the tension of the threads and the density of the grass itself. You can understand this only with your fingers.
