Description of the Artwork “Chicago”
In 'Chicago,' Constantin Roucault takes us on an extraordinary journey above the city's bustling streets, presenting a view that is both abstract and deeply emotional. The high vantage point reveals a cityscape populated with iconic skyscrapers, among which the enigmatic split face of a woman and a piercing eye stand prominently, weaving a tapestry of mystery and engagement. This composition not only captures the architectural grandeur of Chicago but also imbues it with a sense of living, breathing art. The interplay between the structural elements and the abstract features invites viewers to explore the narrative depth and emotional resonance inherent in urban landscapes, challenging them to see beyond the concrete to the stories and souls that animate it.

Constantin Roucault, Switzerland
Constantin, born in 1984, is a contemporary artist from the canton of Fribourg. After earning his Master of Law (MLaw) degree from the University of Fribourg in 2011, he embarked on an academic career in jurisprudence. Over time, however, his focus increasingly shifted towards visual arts. Through various workshops and private art courses, he deepened his artistic skills, refined his drawing techniques, and expanded his artistic approach. Oil paint became his preferred medium—chosen for its vibrant color palette, depth, and ability to create an emotional connection with the audience. Occasionally, Constantin integrates additional techniques such as acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, enriching his works with diverse textures and layers. Constantin’s body of work has evolved into various series, each exploring its own themes and stylistic approaches. They reflect his ongoing artistic exploration and development. In his art, Constantin explores the tension between the man-made world and nature—both in their contrast and harmony. Some of his urban motifs, featuring graphic lines and imaginative elements, lend a playful touch to cityscapes. In his abstract works, he examines the energy and movement of waves, inspired by the power of nature. Other pieces resemble a narrative journey full of hidden truths—a labyrinth of mirrors where each viewer confronts their own desires, fears, and emotions.
