Patrick Rubinstein

Patrick Rubinstein's artistic practice is rooted in movement, optical illusion, and viewer participation. Drawing upon the traditions of Kinetic Art and Op Art, the artist utilizes multi-layered surfaces and specialized perspective techniques in his works, allowing the image to transform based on the viewer's movement. For Rubinstein, art is a living and evolving experience rather than a static object; his works reveal new imagery, colors, and meanings when viewed from different angles. Employing a wide visual repertoire ranging from popular culture icons to historical figures, the artist turns concepts of perception, time, and movement into an aesthetic playground, making the viewer an active part of the artwork.

(b. 1960, Paris) The French artist's works are represented in galleries, museums, and private collections across numerous countries worldwide, including institutions such as POPA – Porrentruy Optical Art in Switzerland, the Maurice and Paul Marciano Foundation in Los Angeles, and the Copelouzos Art Museum in Athens. Having expanded his international presence in recent years through exhibitions like Jeux d’Optique and Illusions Croisées at Dalí Paris, the artist regularly participates in major contemporary art fairs across Europe and America. Rubinstein's works are held in prominent private collections globally, with collectors including leading figures from sports, fashion, and business. The artist lives and works in Paris.
