Untitled 2022

"Untitled" (2022) by Ukrainian artist Alevtyna Kakhidze is a black and white line drawing with a few splashes of color, commenting on the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Kakhidze, born in 1973, is referencing the prestigious art exhibition Documenta, a large-scale event that takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. The drawing uses a simple, childlike style to highlight the impact of the war on Ukrainian art, with a person holding a flag of Ukraine in the center of the image, along with a caption that reads "but without ukrainian artists, they are still in bombshelters." The image is a poignant reminder of the ongoing conflict and its effects on Ukrainian culture.
