About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "panda in pop" presents a vibrant, pop-art interpretation of the panda motif. The central panel features a stylized panda face set against a gold background, surrounded by a chaotic collage of comic book graphics, speech bubbles, and pop culture references. This suggests a playful commentary on the panda's status as a cultural icon, filtered through the lens of modern media. The side panels offer contrasting treatments, one with a blue background and the other with a more densely packed collage. The lenticular effect, implied by Rubinstein's style, likely adds a shifting, dynamic quality to the imagery. The work captures the essence of the panda's enduring appeal, presented with a sense of playful energy and visual overload.

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.
