About the artwork

Transcending beyond traditional boundaries with his optical art, contemporary French artist Patrick Rubinstein’s works are a vibrant pop of colour and dynamism within any space. Drawing together elements of pop culture and kinetic formations, his immersive style relies on motion and optical illusions to project impressions of various hidden images scattered throughout his works. This kinetic warp can be seen when the big panda moves into a multitude of tinier, shinier, colourful panda portraits. Although his piece is more subtle in its symbolism amongst his library of works, it remains an equally captivating experience for viewers.

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.
