Paul Rousso takes pop art into the 21st century

, a renowned visual artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs around the world, is presenting his latest exhibition “A Classic Love Letter ” at Proyecto H , an art gallery located in Mexico City .

His main influences are pop-art, North American culture , and paper : currency , advertising , newspapers , magazines , which he describes as “ cultural monuments .” In essence, Rousso is writing a love letter to art and North American culture through his pieces.

Rousso

created the term “ Flat Depth ” to describe his work . It refers to “the logical progression of modern art —to render a flat object three-dimensional, or to collapse a three-dimensional object into two dimensions—and is a fusion of countless complex artistic methods." His art can also be described as multidisciplinary since it includes painting, printing, sculpting, welding, chemistry, photoshop, and digital printing .

Furthermore, Rousso innovates by using technology to create hyper-realistic, hyper-sized sculptures featuring money, magazine pages, candy wrappers, soup cans , and cereal boxes .

Through his innovative techniques , Rousso takes pop-art into the 21st century , appealing to a public that wants to see new art forms.

Moreover, Rousso breaks away from tradition through his three-dimensional pieces but at the same time, his work documents and reinterprets American culture and history .

Rousso

's work will be available at Proyecto H until December 23, 2019 .

: Guadalajara #88 , Col. Roma Norte , Mexico City.
