Description of the Artwork “Reflection”
In 'Reflection', Constantin Roucault masterfully employs a vibrant palette and a complex structure to explore themes of symmetry, balance, and illusion. At the heart of this painting lies a spellbinding circular motif, segmented and adorned with a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and patterns that evoke the mechanical devices and pinwheels of mythical narratives. This artwork not only captivates with its outward visual appeal but also invites viewers to delve deeper into their own reflections on the visual and psychological interplay between the elements presented.
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.
