Untitled 2022

This untitled drawing by Alevtyna Kakhidze presents a stark composition in black ink on a divided white page, creating a diptych effect. The lines are simple, almost childlike, yet they delineate complex emotional and cultural spaces. The work’s structure hinges on the interplay between the depicted figure and the Eiffel Tower, connected by swirling lines of text that seem to bridge physical and linguistic space. Note how the artist uses text not just as language but as form. These words, juxtaposed with iconic imagery, challenge fixed notions of place and identity. The figure’s gaze and posture suggest introspection, inviting us to consider how personal experiences are mediated by broader cultural symbols. Kakhidze’s work functions semiotically, using recognizable signs to question and destabilize conventional meanings. It reminds us that art's significance lies not in static interpretation, but in its capacity to provoke ongoing dialogue across diverse fields of meaning.
