Paul Rousso
Beautiful Blue Hand Sculpted Surface of Water / Wave / Iridescent Pop Art

2020

About the Item

The Surface of Water 31 x 40 x 5.5 in Mixed Media on Hand-Sculpted Acrylic Shimmering blue wall sculpture made by Paul Rousso. A dimensional piece that reflects light beautifully. Paul Rousso (b. 1958) is a visual artist and innovator who is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended the Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio before being sidelined by a too-close encounter with a power saw. Rousso’s period of convalescence turned into a months-long stint in New York City, where he found work as a member of an interior design team drawing plans for the home of Robert De Niro. After completing his B.F.A. in 1981 at California College of the Arts in Oakland, California, Rousso was hired by Warner Brothers as a scenic painter for films. He went on to serve as an art director and illustrator for Revlon, Clairol, Condé Nast, and Bloomingdale’s before becoming a fulltime artist. With influences ranging from Dr. Seuss to Roy Lichtenstein, Rousso casts his pop art sensibilities on a 21st century scale. Advances in technology have enabled him to delve into the heat-tempered sculpting of the world’s ephemera in surprising ways. Through exaggerations of size, Rousso places such familiar items as a crumpled-up ten-dollar bill or a bubble gum wrapper on the same relative plane as the viewer. Intricately detailed renderings at such outsized dimensions as four to five feet in size force the viewer into the role of studied observer. It is in this way that Rousso’s art speaks to the conversion of physical objects and the effect of that transformation on the viewer. Again, “all this stuff is going away,” and Rousso wants you to take a good long look. Rousso’s work is held in private collections over North America, Europe, the Middle East and beyond, and numerous public projects of his appear across the United States. His work has also been exhibited at galleries in Atlanta, Charlotte, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Miami.
