About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "toon pop world" explodes with a chaotic celebration of cartoon characters and the word "POP!" The central panel features a densely packed collage of iconic animated figures, creating a nostalgic frenzy. The word "POP!" is rendered in a bold, three-dimensional style, further emphasizing the playful energy of the piece. The side panels offer contrasting treatments: one features a blue background with yellow letters, the other a red background with yellow letters, both bursting with comic book graphics and more cartoon figures. The lenticular effect, implied by Rubinstein's style, likely adds a shifting, dynamic quality to the imagery. The work seems to comment on the enduring power of cartoons in popular culture, presented with a sense of playful, almost overwhelming 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.
