The Order is given 2012

"The Order is Given" (2012) by Alexander Roitburd depicts a scene of two figures bound by ropes against a rocky, watery backdrop. The man on the left has a bird perched on the head of the woman on the right, with the bird's long red tongue reaching out towards the man. The painting's surrealism and disturbing subject matter is characteristic of Roitburd's work, which often explores themes of power, sexuality, and societal norms. This piece is an example of contemporary painting and can be categorized as figurative art, with a focus on symbolism and emotional tension.
