Constantin Roucault

Artist (Painting, Printmaking)
Born 1984

Constantin is a contemporary artist from Fribourg, renowned for his ability to infuse emotional resonance and layered meaning into his works. His primary medium is oil paint, which he treasures for its unparalleled versatility, richness, and the depth it brings to his creations. However, Constantin is not bound by tradition alone. He skillfully incorporates other techniques, such as acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, using these methods to push the boundaries of his artistic expression and create intricate, multidimensional compositions.

At the heart of Constantin's art lies a profound exploration of the interplay between the man-made world and the natural environment. His works often reveal this dynamic through striking contrasts and unexpected harmonies. Urban motifs, with their sharp graphic lines and whimsical, imaginative elements, transform everyday cityscapes into playful and thought-provoking visual narratives. In his abstract pieces, Constantin delves into the primal energy and perpetual motion of natural phenomena, particularly waves, capturing their raw power and fluidity as symbols of life's ceaseless ebb and flow.

Beyond the urban and the abstract, Constantin's oeuvre is imbued with a deeper sense of storytelling. Some of his works resemble visual labyrinths, inviting viewers on an introspective journey through layers of hidden truths. Like navigating a hall of mirrors, these pieces encourage a personal confrontation with one’s innermost desires, fears, and emotions, offering a space for reflection and discovery. Through his art, Constantin masterfully invites his audience to connect with the world, both external and internal, in new and transformative ways.

Screen prints, also known as silkscreen or serigraphy, are considered unique because each print is typically produced by hand, and the process inherently allows for variations in color, texture, and placement. Here are a few reasons why screen prints are always unique:

Screen printing involves a manual process where a fine mesh screen is used to transfer ink onto a surface, such as paper or fabric. This manual aspect introduces slight variations in pressure, ink application, and alignment, making each print unique.

In many screen printing projects, multiple layers of ink are applied to create the final image. The registration and alignment of these layers may vary slightly from print to print, contributing to individualized characteristics.

Often custom colors are created by mixing various inks. Due to the manual nature of the process, achieving exact color consistency across prints can be challenging, leading to subtle variations.

Many screen prints are hand-pulled, meaning that a squeegee is physically pulled across the screen to transfer the ink. This hands-on approach introduces variability into the printing process.

Usually the number of prints is intentionally limited in number of prints produced in an edition to maintain exclusivity and scarcity. This limited production contributes to the uniqueness of each print.

The type of surface onto which the ink is applied, whether paper, fabric, or another material, can also influence the final result. Differences in texture, absorbency, and quality of the surface contribute to variations among prints.

In summary, the combination of manual techniques, layering, ink variations, and the artistic choices made during the printing process ensures that each screen print is a distinct and individual piece of art, even when part of a limited edition.
