One boy is just about to turn seven, sitting in his chair, drawing himself on construction paper with his crayons as his teacher told him. He is drawing his eyes correctly with an actual iris and pupil by looking at his reflection in the mirror. Soon, his teacher comes and points out to him, saying we have an artist in the class. He will be taking it to heart and just never stop working on art.
That’s how a 21st-century visual artist and innovator, Paul Rousso, would be born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I had to choose three words to describe Paul Rousso, those words would be pop art<\/strong>, flat depth<\/strong>, and three-dimensional<\/strong> (or two-dimensional?<\/em>). Pop Art<\/strong><\/a> is okay, and we can picture 3D and 2D objects, but how about the flat depth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, we will respond to this question and get to know Paul Rousso, the prodigious perfectionist, while discovering his life bustled with art. Care to join us? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul Rousso was born in Charlotte, NC, in 1958 and educated at the California College of the Arts<\/strong>. Rousso is simply more than that. One day he came up with the idea while observing the great artworks. Before him, everything was flat; besides, pop artists also chose to keep up with this vision. But, on the contrary, he seemed with a new language to tell the world, and he seemed to make a significant change. For him, space and illusion are on one side, and the flat is on the other. Then he combined those worlds. Flat depth perception, the substantial balance, came to life like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He came to a unique idea in art school when he visited a seminal art show of pop art at the Berkeley Museum of Art with his friend. He saw all the seminal pop artists, namely, Jasper Johns<\/strong><\/a>, Warhol Lichtenstein<\/strong><\/a>, Claes Oldenburg<\/strong><\/a>. They stroke him. After the show, when he and his friend were talking, they realized the subject matter of most of the artwork was two-dimensional flat images. Then they asked how we could make pop art go further. When Rousso was 19, he came out with a flat-depth<\/strong> idea. After this, his art’s primary purpose would be adding an extra dimension to two-dimensional images. And, he undoubtedly accomplished it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPAUL ROUSSO <\/strong>– THE ARCHITECT OF THE FLAT DEPTH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
He is a visual artist who focuses on ephemera and analog culture antiques that quickly disappear into the past. Nevertheless, Rousso asserted that the things around us would soon be antiquity, and some things had already started to be. He is willing to make them remember and show them to people who won’t be able to see them, who won’t have any clue about them. Therefore, he defined his art for his audience who has not yet been born.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCalling Him a Visual Artist Would Be Enough?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
