Untitled 2022

"Untitled" is a 2022 drawing by Alevtyna Kakhidze, which depicts the ongoing war in Ukraine with simple lines and childlike figures. The artist uses the words “Bucha” and “Lysychansk”, Ukrainian towns that were targeted by Russian forces, to denote the direction of Russian tanks towards Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The artist’s signature and the date on the artwork, 1.03.2022, mark a significant moment in the war. The text “BUT military HARDWARE of UKRAINE is just NOT DRAWN for safety REASONS..” adds a layer of context and poignancy to the artwork, reflecting the artist’s perspective on the situation and the need for discretion.
