About the artwork

Patrick Rubinstein's "panda mood" presents the panda as a multifaceted symbol across three panels. The left panel features a gold-toned panda against a textured background, suggesting a regal or precious quality. The central panel layers a panda image over a chaotic collage of text and graphics, creating a sense of dynamic energy. The right panel places a black and white panda against a vibrant, cartoonish backdrop, highlighting its playful side. This juxtaposition of styles and treatments suggests a commentary on the panda's diverse cultural interpretations. The lenticular effect, implied by Rubinstein's style, likely adds a shifting, three-dimensional quality to the imagery, enhancing the dynamic interplay of elements.

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.
