"Louis XIV #7" (2011) by Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021) is a striking portrait of the Sun King in a distorted, almost grotesque manner. The figure is depicted as a fragmented, elongated form, draped in elaborate robes and wearing red shoes. Roitburd’s use of bold, almost theatrical colors and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of theatrical drama and a warped vision of power and regality. This work reflects Roitburd's signature style, characterized by a blend of historical imagery with contemporary art techniques.
