Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna 2019

This work by Alevtyna Kakhidze combines simple drawing with a found piece of black fabric. The artist has used accessible materials, a direct contrast to traditional fine art. The drawing, made with what appears to be basic pen on paper, depicts figures and text. It is immediate and without refinement. The black fabric square obscures a central portion of the composition, lending a somber tone to the piece. The artist makes this collage into an art object, a document that is both personal and political, where the stark contrast between the drawing and the fabric amplifies the emotional depth of the work. Kakhidze's choice of materials and processes reflects a broader trend in contemporary art, challenging the divide between art and everyday life. This piece invites us to consider the social context in which it was created, blurring the lines between high art and more accessible modes of expression.
