Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna 2016

Here we see a drawing, an untitled work made by Alevtyna Kakhidze in a deliberately simple style, using just ink on paper. The artist's hand is evident in the directness of the linework. The minimal strokes render a figure on the phone, with a cluster of strawberries to the side. The raw and unadorned nature of the materials emphasizes the artwork's conceptual focus. The material execution becomes a conscious choice, setting the stage for the drawing's communicative power. This approach underscores the value of straightforward expression, aligning the artwork with a broader movement that challenges traditional notions of artistic skill and labor-intensive production. Instead, the drawing celebrates the immediacy and accessibility of its message. By prioritizing content over elaborate technique, Kakhidze invites us to reconsider the conventional hierarchy between concept and execution, craft and fine art.
