Untitled 2022

"Untitled" (2022) by Alevtyna Kakhidze is a simple yet powerful black and red line drawing on paper. The piece depicts two figures, one seated and the other standing, with the seated figure holding a smartphone and the standing figure carrying a Russian flag. The piece is a political commentary, with the seated figure representing Ukraine and the standing figure representing Russia. The artist's bold use of red suggests the bloodshed and violence of the ongoing war. This piece is part of a larger body of work that reflects on Kakhidze's own experience during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
