About the artwork

This captivating work by Patrick Rubinstein features the Mona Lisa surrounded by iconic images of pop art, such as Roy Liechtenstein’s ‘Crying Girl’ and Andy Warhol’s ‘Banana’ and ‘Marilyn Monroe’. This icon of Renaissance art juxtaposed with those of Pop Art are an excellent example of the fascinating and humorous contrasts that Patrick Rubinstein employs in his works. The work features an array of vibrant and neon colours that advance towards the viewer, imbuing it with a sense of energy. This is furthered by the unique effect of Patrick’s art, in which the work comes to life according to the movements of the viewer, allowing them to become its masterful animator.

About the artist

French contemporary artist Patrick Rubinstein invites viewers into a world where nostalgia, motion, and modernity collide. Drawing inspiration from icons of pop culture and the legacies of Optical and Kinetic Art, Rubinstein creates mesmerizing, multi-dimensional works that transform with every shift in perspective. His pieces are more than visual—they are experiences, alive with movement and surprise. At the heart of Rubinstein’s art is a dynamic interplay between image and viewer. With a signature lenticular technique, he overlays multiple visuals into a single composition, allowing the work to shift and animate as one moves past it. Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and modern-day symbols take on renewed vitality, not as static portraits but as pulsing, kinetic echoes of cultural memory. Through this ever-changing lens, Rubinstein challenges us to see beyond the surface—into layers of time, perspective, and perception.
