About the artwork
Patrick Rubinstein's "wings of golden love" presents the word "LOVE" as a central motif, intricately woven into a tapestry of butterfly imagery. The central panel features the letters against a dark, textured background, with butterflies seemingly trapped within, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The side panels offer contrasting treatments: one features gold letters against a dense butterfly collage, while the other features butterflies against a dark background, with the word "LOVE" subtly integrated. The lenticular effect, implied by Rubinstein's style, likely adds a shifting, three-dimensional quality to the imagery, enhancing the illusion of butterflies in motion. The work seems to explore the ephemeral nature of love, symbolized by the delicate wings of butterflies, and its multifaceted expressions.
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.
