B**ch, F*ck... 2022

Danil Nemirovsky made this drawing "B**ch, F*ck..." with what looks like pen and ink. I’m immediately drawn to the intensity of the stark black and white contrast. The controlled chaos of lines creates a real sense of depth and texture. The way the lines cross and overlap – it’s almost architectural, like a blueprint gone wild. It makes me think about the physicality of artmaking, the repetitive, almost meditative act of putting pen to paper, line after line. Look at that cluster of lines creating the complex forms on the right. It’s so dense, so intricate, like a mechanical heart or a chaotic web, and it's kind of beautiful, right? It reminds me a bit of some of the early surrealist drawings, like André Masson’s automatic drawings, where the idea was to let the hand move freely and see what emerges. But Nemirovsky feels less dreamy and more… urgent, maybe. Like he’s trying to map out something tangled and messy, and turn it into an image. Art is an ongoing conversation, and this piece definitely has something to say.
