About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "love mouse" is a vibrant, pop-art triptych that playfully deconstructs the iconic imagery of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The side panels feature the characters against a chaotic backdrop of cartoon figures, creating a sense of nostalgic overload. The central panel explodes with the word "LOVE!" in a comic book style, rendered in bold yellow against a blue background, suggesting a dynamic burst of emotion. Rubinstein's use of lenticular printing, hinted at by the "paillettes noires black glitter dust" and "dorée à la feuille d'or 22 carats" notes, adds a layer of visual trickery and depth, enhancing the pop art aesthetic. The work cleverly juxtaposes familiar imagery with contemporary techniques, creating a visually engaging commentary on love and pop culture.

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.
