Emerging from Joram Roukes’ ongoing exploration of identity and the symbols that shape contemporary culture, Blue Bull reflects on the evolving perceptions of masculinity through a dialogue between three protagonists: a blue bull, a red doberman, and a solitary perch. Suspended within a composition that resists fixed orientation, the figures invite multiple readings, suggesting that ideas of strength, vulnerability, and power are never absolute, but continuously shaped by perspective.

Characteristic of Roukes' practice, disparate images, cultural references, and symbolic elements are brought together into layered compositions that remain open to multiple interpretations. Working across painting, collage, and digital processes, the artist constructs richly textured visual worlds where familiar forms are continually recontextualised. For this edition, the original composition has been reworked through a transformed background, screen-printed interventions, and hand-finished details, allowing the dialogue between the three protagonists to come into sharper focus.
