Description of the Artwork “Bern”
This evocative expressionist portrayal of the Bern Cathedral captures more than just the architectural magnificence of Switzerland's largest medieval church. Through a vivid tapestry of grunge and texture, the artist, Constantin Roucault, weaves a narrative of resilience, beauty, and the passage of time. As the gothic spire reaches skywards above the old city's rooftops, so too does this artwork in its aspiration to connect viewers with the spirit and history of Bern. The interplay of rough and weathered textures against the meticulous patterns embodies the cathedral's enduring presence amidst the city's evolving story.
Artwork in the interior
Constantin Roucault, Switzerland
Constantin is a contemporary artist from Fribourg. His main medium is oil paint, which he greatly values for its versatility and depth. Additionally, he uses other techniques like acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing to add more depth and expression to his works. In his art, Constantin shows the contrast and harmony between the man-made world and nature. Some of his urban motifs with graphic lines and imaginative elements give the city environment a playful touch. In his abstract works, he explores the energy and movement of waves, inspired by the power of nature. Other works resemble a narrative journey full of hidden truths – like a labyrinth of mirrors where everyone faces their own desires, fears, and emotions.
