About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "cine mickey" presents Mickey Mouse as a central figure, deconstructed and reassembled across three panels. The central panel features a classic Mickey, rendered in bold black and white against a chaotic backdrop of comic book graphics and pop culture imagery, suggesting a commentary on his enduring and omnipresent status. The side panels offer contrasting interpretations: one features Mickey in a stark, almost graphic style with red accents, while the other presents him in a solid blue against a textured background. The lenticular effect, implied by Rubinstein's style, likely adds a shifting, dynamic quality to the imagery, further enhancing the pop art aesthetic and the sense of Mickey's multifaceted presence in contemporary 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.
