"In Search of JOHAR" (2009) by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021) is a striking and symbolic painting. The painting features a man in a red suit holding a sword, with a dog biting his finger. A spotlight illuminates the dog and a sign that reads "JOHAR". This scene evokes themes of power, control, and the search for identity within a complex social landscape. The use of bold colors and contrasting light creates a sense of drama and intrigue.
