Patrick Rubinstein

Since their respective beginnings, Patrick Rubinstein has cultivated a strong relationship with Galerie Montmartre. The artist was introduced to photography and graphic arts by his father, in a France marked by the rise of Anglo-Saxon pop culture. He was fascinated by the dynamism of British rock ‘n’ roll and the iconic imagery of American cinema.

Patrick Rubinstein channels the glamour of the 1950s in monochrome, the kaleidoscopic pop universe of the 1960s, and the anarchic spirit of 1980s street art. His work navigates between kinetic and optical art, offering the viewer a world where a humorous and positive atmosphere reigns.

The artist invented the patented “Dooble” principle, which describes the fusion of two images designed to blend into one.
This newly fused image is applied to an accordion-folded support. The application on this support recreates, at a 45° angle, the two original images visible on each side.
Several other images, revealed by the intertwining of the two views, become visible as the viewer moves around the work.

Patrick Rubinstein’s collaboration with Galerie Montmartre spans a significant period, during which they launched several of his now iconic series, including the “Exception” and “Musée Imaginaire” collections. These works pay tribute to the masters of modern and contemporary art, reviving our collective memory.

Through his art, Patrick Rubinstein invites the viewer on a captivating journey through time and space, where past and present converge in a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes.
