Description of the Artwork “Città in Fiamme”
In the stirring canvas of 'Città in Fiamme,' Constantin Roucault crafts a gripping narrative through his surreal depiction of a city and a ship, caught amidst a maelstrom of flames and turmoil. Objects suspended in mid-air and a palette steeped in contrasts evoke emotions of despair, awe, and curiosity. The specter of flames dancing against vintage patterns and walls imbued with the grunge of time, compels the viewer to ponder - what cataclysm befell this mystical city? This painting is not just a visual feast; it is an invitation to explore the depths of myth, memory, and the echoes of ancient stories.
Artwork in the interior
Constantin Roucault, Switzerland
Constantin Roucault, a contemporary Swiss artist who draws inspiration from the cubist representation of urban and industrial subjects found in the works of American painters Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, and, to some extent, Edward Hopper. This early influence propelled him towards embracing the artistic style. The city and nature, in their myriad forms, have remained enduring sources of inspiration for Constantin throughout his artistic journey. His artworks navigate the intersection of figurative and graphic styles, oscillating between abstraction and realism. Central to his creative process is the use of oil paint, a fundamental medium that brings his visions to life. In certain instances, Constantin incorporates diverse media and techniques, including acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, to enhance the expressive depth of his creations. This versatile approach allows him to explore and push the boundaries of artistic representation, creating a body of work that resonates with both abstraction and the tangible reality of the subjects he portrays.
