Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna 2019

This untitled piece by Alevtyna Kakhidze, with its mix of drawing and collage, feels like a thought in progress. Kakhidze's line is raw, almost clumsy, but there's a real energy in the way she lays down these figures in blue and black. I love how the text fragments are almost fighting for space on the page. The figures are outlined with a shaky, uneven line, and the black ink reads as both tentative and assertive, creating a tension. It's like a sketch for a political cartoon, urgent and immediate. This reminds me a little of Nancy Spero’s work, where language and image collide in a similarly direct and confrontational way. Ultimately, Kakhidze's piece embraces this uncertainty and openness to interpretation.
