Untitled 2022

Alevtyna Kakhidze's untitled drawing seems to have come into being through quick, intuitive gestures in marker pen. I can imagine her hand moving rapidly across the paper, outlining figures and letters, maybe in one sitting. There’s a rawness here, an urgency that resonates. The black ink is bold, contrasting against the white background, but then there are these touches of red that seem to shout out from the surface. I can feel the energy in these marks, like she's grabbing at ideas, pulling them down onto the page before they disappear. The little figures are like symbols, arranged to depict a scene of protest. There's something universal about this, like a shorthand for something complex. It reminds me how marks can operate as language, expressing emotion without needing to be fully understood. It’s like a visual diary entry, capturing a moment in time, and it’s a powerful reminder of how artists respond to the world around them, transforming it through their own unique vision.
