Untitled 

This drawing was created by Alevtyna Kakhidze, and the quick, expressive marks suggest it was made with humble materials like pen and ink or maybe even a marker. The rough, immediate quality of the medium seems perfectly suited to Kakhidze’s subject: the social issues surrounding gender equality and the pressures of modern life. Look closely, and you'll see how the immediacy of the line renders the image with a deliberately unpolished aesthetic, underscoring the urgency of its message. The visual language is reminiscent of political cartoons, where the quick, reproducible nature of drawing allows for widespread dissemination and commentary on social issues. The piece makes no bones about the artist’s political position. By embracing a raw, direct method, she bypasses any expectation of refinement, placing the emphasis squarely on the concepts being conveyed. This artistic choice reflects a larger trend of artists challenging traditional notions of "high art" by engaging with everyday materials and accessible forms of production. In doing so, Kakhidze elevates the conversation around gender and labor, making it both visible and vital.
