Self Portrait in Red 2004

"Self Portrait in Red" is a 2004 painting by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd, known for his bold and often satirical self-portraits. The work depicts the artist in a close-up view against a vibrant red background, with his face partially obscured. The thick brushstrokes and textured surface contribute to a sense of immediacy and rawness, characteristic of Roitburd's style. This painting exemplifies his exploration of self-identity and his use of vivid colors to create a visually striking and emotionally charged composition.
