The artist
Patrick Rubinstein
A tireless explorer of Form and Movement
Patrick Rubinstein is a French artist born in Paris in 1960. His childhood left a lasting impression on him and would later nourish his artistic language. He grew up in a family with a keen interest in art. He inherited a passion for cinema from his mother and an inventive spirit from his father, who was the first to introduce him to the techniques of kinetic art. At the age of 18, he sold his first work. It was not until many years later that Rubinstein perfected his technique and artistic language to produce today’s internationally acclaimed works. By launching his own movement, ‘Kinetic Op art’, he is considered one of the pioneers of kinetic art. With his three-view paintings, he creates a visual experience and engages the viewer by moving around the artwork to produce movement.
A versatile and polymorphous artist, he is known for exploring different themes. With a unique approach and creative vision, he manages to embrace different styles, borrowing from figurative art, pop art, geometric abstraction and surrealism to create baroque and kinetic works of art. He plays with shapes, colours, materials and movement. The artist continues to explore new creative horizons and surprise viewers with his unique works of art. He is considered an artist in constant evolution. His thirst to explore and surprise the public led him to sculpture. Above all, he is an unclassifiable artist.
Une oeuvre est émotion…
… et l’émotion c’est ce qui touche notre moi
profond, notre mémoire.
