About the artwork
This work by Patrick Rubinstein pays tribute to the icons of Pop Art. At the forefront of the work is Andy Warhol’s ‘Banana’, that upon moving, is revealed to contain numerous iconic symbols of Pop Art, such as Marilyn Monroe and a can of Campbell’s Soup. The mix of bright neon colours and cool tones create a dazzling vibrancy that is visually stimulating, while the unique and ever-changing dynamics of the work reflect the electrifying experience of viewing a Pop work for the first time, and the palpable sense of energy and movement. Patrick’s innovative technique is demonstrated in this piece, which is a befitting tribute to a movement that has influenced his own process immensely.
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.
