Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna 2017

This brown-ink drawing by Alevtyna Kakhidze feels like a thought caught on paper—direct, simple, and maybe a bit mysterious. I imagine the artist quickly sketching this scene, perhaps from life, or maybe it’s something from her memory. The lines are confident, almost childlike, which gives the image a wonderful immediacy. I wonder what it was like for her to make this? The marks suggest the motion and energy of someone picking fruit, and a figure up high, maybe on a ladder. The orange dots bring a playful contrast to the brown, like little bursts of joy. It reminds me a bit of folk art, something handmade and heartfelt. What's interesting is how the bareness of the image invites you to fill in the gaps. It’s like Kakhidze is saying, “Here’s a little something, now you take it and run with it.” It’s a nice reminder that art isn’t just about what’s there, but what it makes you imagine.
