In 'Imaginary Grove', Constantin Roucault masterfully invites viewers on an immersive journey into a bamboo forest reborn through abstraction. Dominated by an expansive spectrum of blues, from the lightest to the deepest, the painting evokes a tranquil, yet mysterious atmosphere. The essence of tranquility wraps around the viewers, offering them a calming embrace from the chaotic world outside. Here, traditional bamboo leaves are reimagined into abstract forms that spark the imagination. A solitary bamboo-like staff, painted in a striking salmon-yellow, stands boldly against the serene blues, creating a vibrant contrast and serving as a reminder of the beauty found in diversity. This piece allows for a myriad of interpretations, inviting viewers to dive into its depths and find their own peace within the enigmatic quality of its composition.
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.
