About the artwork

This dynamic artwork by Patrick Rubinstein features Audrey Hepburn, a renowned film and fashion icon of the 20th century. When viewed from the right, the work appears to be solely of Audrey. However upon moving in the opposite direction an assortment of familiar brand logos appear, such as Starbucks and Adidas, the result of Patrick’s innovative process and technique. The intermingling of Audrey, a symbol of class and elegance, with that of mass consumerism is indicative of the statement Patrick attempts to make with his art, about the way in which consumerism and brands have become intrinsically intertwined in our lives.



About the artist

Patrick Rubinstein draws his themes from both the past and the present and is inspired by Optical Art and Kinetic Art, genres that play with our perceptions through art.  His works often feature the major icons and celebrities of the second half of the twentieth century and feature an innovative technique, which allows visual variations when the spectator moves around the work while maintaining defined sight of the central image. The result of this is captivating, giving the artworks an animated and perpetually renewed nature. Rubinstein’s art has a striking effect when observed: the image, fixed at first, comes to life according to the movements of the viewer. We become the animator vis-à-vis the unprecedented dynamics of his work, that draw us into a captivating visual experience, and surprises us with every viewing.
