Delegate 2009

"Delegate" is a 2009 painting by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021), which features a person in a red robe with a large vase on their head, lying face down on the ground. A large yellowjacket sits near their legs, and a pair of scissors is placed over the figure's shoulder. The painting, with its surreal and unsettling elements, is characteristic of Roitburd's signature style, which combines elements of realism, symbolism, and social commentary.
