Untitled 2022

"Untitled" (2022) by Alevtyna Kakhidze is a black and white line drawing that depicts a political cartoon, referencing the current political climate. The artwork uses symbolism to convey its message, for example, a figure of a woman standing in front of a castle that looks like Buckingham Palace, representing the United Kingdom, is pushing money bags with the symbols for British pounds and Euros. The artwork critiques the political implications of sanctions, using visual language to convey a message about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The right side of the artwork depicts a man standing on a platform, holding flags of Russia and Kazakhstan, labeled "Putin" and "Каким-немаm" ("Who is not") respectively. The artist's use of simple line work creates a stark and impactful commentary.
