Whatermelon 2010

"Watermelon" (2010) by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021) is a still life painting that features a trio of watermelons. The artist's characteristic thick brushstrokes and vibrant palette are evident in the depiction of the ripe watermelon, with its contrasting hues of green, red, and black. Roitburd's works often explore themes of everyday life and consumer culture, and "Watermelon" exemplifies his ability to elevate ordinary objects to a level of artistic significance. This painting, with its simple composition and bold colours, serves as a reminder of the beauty and delight found in the simplest things.
