This captivating piece from 2010 marks a pivotal moment in Constantin Roucault's career, showcasing a mixed technique mastery with oil, acrylics, and felt pens on canvas. The artwork presents an urban cityscape, featuring a complex interplay of industrial and office structures, rendered through a vibrant palette that subtly introduces the notion of urban scents and pollution. By integrating various textures and materials, Roucault not only depicts a physical urban view but also evokes the lingering smells that define city life, making 'La Ville I' a profound statement on contemporary 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.
