Hidden Styles
Paul Rousso turns the everyday into the extraordinary. Raised in North Carolina and shaped by his time at the California College of the Arts, Rousso draws inspiration from the overlooked, the discarded, the crumpled, the printed and forgotten. His signature technique of “painting with paper” transforms two-dimensional materials into sculptural poetry.
Magazines, candy wrappers, currency - these become portals into pop culture and memory, reimagined on a monumental scale.
The Magic of the Flattened Form
A Vision That Bends Time and Space
Rousso’s work is about perception — what we notice, what we ignore, and how scale can reshape meaning. He stretches and distorts familiar forms, turning them into immersive, high-gloss wall sculptures that shimmer with nostalgia and wit. From candy wrappers the size of beach towels to exquisitely twisted magazine pages, Rousso invites viewers to look again — not just at his work, but at the objects in their own lives. He’s a pop artist with classical depth, rendering the cultural debris of our time into something lyrical, lasting, and deeply human.

Why Collect Paul Rousso
To collect Rousso is to embrace boldness, joy, and a touch of surrealism. His work speaks to collectors who crave both technique and concept, beauty and substance. It is at once decorative and disruptive — a conversation starter, a memory trigger, and a fine art statement. Whether for a private collection or a curated public space, a Rousso piece redefines the room and uplifts the viewer. His sculptures are more than art objects — they are celebrations of imagination, icons of material culture, and lasting investments in creative legacy.
"Artists make art... everyone else talks about it."
