About the artwork
Patrick Rubinstein's "merry love" is a vibrant, multi-layered triptych centered on the word "LOVE," deconstructed and reassembled across three panels. Each letter is a canvas for a collage of pop culture imagery, creating a dynamic interplay of text and visual noise. The central panel features a more abstracted, geometric pattern within the letters, while the side panels burst with familiar cartoon characters and graphic elements, suggesting a playful, nostalgic undertone. The lenticular effect, implied by Rubinstein's style, likely adds a shifting, dynamic quality to the image. The work captures the essence of "love" as a multifaceted concept, filtered through the lens of pop culture and presented with a sense of playful energy.
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.
