Artworks from Paul Rousso

Paul Rousso

Paul Rousso is an American-born visual artist and innovator. Trained at the California College of the Arts, his work is exhibited in galleries and art fairs around the world.

A prodigious perfectionist, his technique has leapt into the future as his vision and imagination merge to embrace new conceptual and physical technologies as they appear on the horizon. The artist lives his context and pursues his goal with vigor.

Raised in North Carolina, Rousso finds his inspiration in the paradoxes of the world around him and the work of the artists who started the conversation, as well as every artist through time who has advanced the subject or art form. His work is consciously accessible to almost any viewer, and yet his classical training shines through as time-honored artistic conventions are woven through his work.
Rousso's fascination with paper - currency, advertising, newspapers, magazines - its history and uses, its rise and fall, is an emblematic theme that often appears in his compositions. Despite the complexity of Rousso's artistic output, the character and subject matter of the art is recognizable to all citizens of the world, so much so that it practically jumps off the wall and enters directly into the viewer's perception.
