Angelus 2008

Alexander Roitburd’s 2008 painting "Angelus" presents a surreal and thought-provoking scene. Two figures, clad in robes, are depicted playing instruments while surrounded by an array of curious objects, including a fox, a deer antler, and winding, golden ropes. The painting's vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes contribute to its dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to contemplate its symbolism and hidden narratives. Roitburd, known for his unconventional and often satirical approach, likely utilizes this artwork to explore themes of spirituality, ritual, and the absurdity of life.
