Born in 1960 in Paris, artist Patrick Rubinstein has established himself as a master of kinetic art and Op Art.
Drawing inspiration from Surrealism, Street art, and the Renaissance and from leading Op Art and Kinetic Art figures such as Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Yaacov Agam, Rubinstein began his artistic journey as a teenager, taking an innovative and unique approach. Reappropriating icons of pop culture from the late 20th century and presenting them in various facets, his work has a strong pop art character.
Rubinstein’s meticulous technique involves what he calls the "double principle," fusing two images to blend into one, and the "triple principle," depicting three images individually—one centrally and two laterally.
Though not digital, Rubinstein's technique uses layers and angles to create a kinetic effect. The image changes according to the viewer’s movement, making each viewing experience personal and unique. His dynamic and ever-evolving kinetic universe continues to push creative limits, earning him international recognition.
Rubinstein has collaborated with high-profile figures like renowned architect and designer Philippe Starck, and his works are displayed globally. By 2013, just five years after selling his first work to Durot, Rubinstein was ranked among the top 100 rated French artists.
His groundbreaking images, evoking collective memories of popular culture, are cherished by fashion designers, royalty, and sports stars, and are part of prestigious collections worldwide, including that of King Mohamed IV of Morocco.
