Untitled 2022

Alevtyna Kakhidze's 2022 "Untitled" is a mixed media work that explores themes of cultural identity, conflict, and the perception of Russian art. The artwork features stylized figures representing notable Russian writers Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Brodsky. Their forms are interwoven, suggesting a complex and interconnected relationship. The artist's use of text, including a mix of Russian and English, emphasizes the tension between East and West, and the question of whether Russian culture can be seen as innocent or culpable in contemporary events. The overall style reflects a contemporary and expressive approach to drawing and visual communication.
