Description of the Artwork “Evening Repose”
In 'Evening Repose,' Constantin Roucault masterfully depicts the quietude of the HongKong seafront, focusing on the subtle interplay of colors and light. The fishing cutters, tied and resting, serve as the central figures within this serene tableau, embodying the day's end and the peaceful transition from labor to rest. The painting whispers tales of the sea, of life intertwined with the rhythm of the waters, and offers an escape into a world where time slows, and tranquility reigns supreme.
Artwork in the interior
Constantin Roucault, Switzerland
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.
