About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "pop dream" is a vibrant triptych centered on John Lennon. The central panel features a stylized portrait of Lennon, his iconic round glasses accentuated with gold, while the side panels are filled with fragmented lyrics from "Imagine" and a chaotic collage of pop culture imagery. This juxtaposition of Lennon's image with his words and a whirlwind of visual noise creates a multi-layered commentary on his legacy. Rubinstein's use of lenticular printing, indicated by the "dorée à la feuille d'or 22 carats" note, adds a dynamic, shifting quality to the image. The work captures the essence of Lennon's message within the frenetic energy of contemporary 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.
