Untitled 2022

Here is the text for your audio guide: Alevtyna Kakhidze created this untitled drawing with simple markers on paper, a stark choice that speaks volumes. The directness of the medium mirrors the immediacy of the message: a raw, unfiltered commentary on the geopolitical landscape. The quick, almost frantic lines suggest a mind grappling with urgent realities. There’s no room for elaborate techniques here; the focus is on the content. The artist uses the inherent qualities of these modest materials to amplify the work’s emotional impact. The stark contrast of the black lines against the white paper intensifies the sense of conflict. The red ink is a clear signal for alarm, highlighting key phrases and drawing our attention to the urgency of the situation. The handwritten text, with its misspellings and raw energy, further emphasizes the personal, unfiltered nature of the artwork. This piece reminds us that art doesn't need to be grand or technically complex to be powerful. The choice of such accessible materials underscores that creativity can be a tool for expression and resistance, available to anyone, anywhere. It’s a potent reminder that the message, and the act of making itself, can be the most powerful statement of all.
