About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "big dreamer" presents John Lennon as a central icon of hope and vision. The central panel features a detailed, grayscale portrait of Lennon, his iconic glasses prominent, set against a gold backdrop, emphasizing his revered status. The side panels diverge: one bursts with comic-book style graphics and the word "IMAGINE!", highlighting his powerful message, while the other displays a grid of Lennon's face in vibrant, Warhol-esque colors, suggesting his enduring and multifaceted influence. The lenticular effect, indicated by the "dorée à la feuille d'or 22 carats" note, likely adds a dynamic, shifting quality to the imagery. The work captures the enduring power of Lennon's dream and his iconic presence in popular 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.
