Chikina C’s penultimate problem.
In 2024, at one of the printouts, the printing staff of Ananas misconsidered or misstated the artist’s name. This is how Chikina S. appeared — not an alter ego or a pseudonym, but a noise, a random failure, which suddenly led to the exhibition project «The Second Last Cup of Chikina C.»
Painting Series
Author’s mythology is being developed through artwork with embroidery, graphics and fragments of internal monologues. It is based on a conditional world in which a person falls into body and noise. The body is an empty vessel, a house, a shell. Noises are internal impulses, desires, doubts, and fragments of other people’s voices. They argue among themselves, wander in space, and begin to realize themselves only when they lose their bodies, and lose their support.
It is at this point that an attempt is launched to build a new (or the former) assembly. bodies out of themselves, out of fragments of memories, out of collective images and symbols. There’s a motive for a lot of hunger — noises tend to be perfect, but each one has its own image of ideal. And the closer to the body, the louder the disagreement.

Graphic series
The Graphic Series is accompanied by painting in the format of the history — a comic book, an alphabet, and a map of the route. Here the noises, when they hit the texture, stop and turn into letters. Letters form a new, non-existent language through which you can try to «read» yourself — not in an attempt to provide a clear answer, but in recognition of the impossibility of doing so.
