Untitled 2022

This untitled artwork by Alevtyna Kakhidze is, I imagine, made with ink and maybe some graphic markers. It's like a visual diary, the kind of thing that sprawls out of your brain and onto the page when you're trying to make sense of the world. I can almost feel the artist's hand moving across the paper, trying to capture a feeling, a thought, or a moment in time. What was it like to live through these events? It feels like a raw, unfiltered expression of the artist's inner world, a window into their thoughts, doubts, and struggles. I think there's a connection to the work of artists like Philip Guston. For me, this piece is a reminder that painting is a form of embodied expression, a way of making sense of the world through gesture, color, and form. It's about embracing ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings. It's a conversation across time, artists inspiring one another to keep pushing the boundaries of what painting can be.
