Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna 2015

Alevtyna Kakhidze made this untitled piece with ink on what looks like a scrap of paper, and it feels like a raw, unfiltered thought bubble. The red and blue scribbles aren't just words; they're like the artist's voice shouting from the page. There's a real physicality here, the way the ink bleeds slightly into the paper, like emotions overflowing. I’m drawn to the cluster of words in the middle, where the red and blue collide, each phrase fighting for attention. It’s like the artist is wrestling with these ideas, trying to pin them down but they keep slipping away. The black marks become almost like redacted bits of information, or points of emphasis. The scratchy, almost frantic energy reminds me a bit of Cy Twombly’s scrawls, but with a more urgent, political edge. Kakhidze captures that feeling of trying to make sense of the chaos around us, embracing the messiness and ambiguity of it all.
