Blood sausage 2008

"Blood Sausage" (2008) by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021) is a vibrant and abstract painting. The composition features a field of rich, deep crimson hues that evoke the texture and color of a blood sausage. Scattered throughout are irregular shapes of off-white and brown, resembling a variety of textures, lending a sense of depth and dimension. The painting's title and the artist's use of bold, evocative colors suggest a commentary on the relationship between food, culture, and societal norms.
