The Loss of virginity 2013

"The Loss of Virginity" (2013) by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021) is a striking painting that depicts two nude figures intertwined. The work is notable for its bold portrayal of sexuality and its unconventional composition, which challenges traditional approaches to the nude in art. The painting's title suggests a narrative of loss and transition, while the figures' distorted forms and the vibrant pink background add to the work's unsettling and provocative character. Roitburd's paintings often explore themes of identity, sexuality, and the human condition, prompting viewers to confront their own assumptions and engage with complex social issues.
