Untitled 2022

Alevtyna Kakhidze's 2022 untitled work is a striking example of protest art. The drawing depicts a political rally, with the words “Anti-War Conference” and “20 May” prominent. The image uses simple lines and dark shades of grey to depict a scene of conflict, with a group of figures labeled “good Russians” facing off against a larger group of "bad Russians." The artist's use of childlike simplicity in the figures adds a poignant layer to the critique, highlighting the devastating impact of war on innocence. The image speaks to the artist's personal experiences and provides a stark commentary on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
