In 'Call it a Day,' Constantin Roucault masterfully encapsulates the quietude of an urban sunset. This oil painting invites viewers into a moment of serene reflection amid the city's hustle. A deserted construction site, cloaked in the soft glow of the sunset, serves as the focal point, with sprawling bridges overhead suggesting the unseen pace of city life. The absence of human figures and the inclusion of palm tree silhouettes add layers of quiet and natural beauty, suggesting a harmonious end to the day's labor. The artwork vibrates with the contrasting energies of rest and ceaseless activity, offering a unique reflection on urban existence.
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.
