In this mesmerizing painting, the artist captures the iconic Golden Gate Bridge under a clear, dark night sky. The full moon casts its serene light, reflecting off the calm waters below, creating a captivating scene that highlights the bewitching beauty of Marin County's mountains in the background. The rich reds of the bridge contrast beautifully with the cool reflections on the ocean, evoking a sense of tranquility and awe. This work is a testament to the artist's ability to convey natural splendor through contemporary art.
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.
