ROBERT PROCH

Robert Proch (1986 - 2019) was a painter, muralist and animator.
He was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, Poland.

Proch's style was inspired by state-of-the-art animation as well as classic caricature. And also impressionism and modernist graffiti. The mini-narratives he paints, examine the modern human condition using vivid colours and tangible emotions. Sentimentality, ambition, fear, loss, hubris, greed and friendship play their roles in snapshot dramas set in coffee shops and shopping malls.
His works are dynamical and presents an emotional reality that remains pleasing and easy to identify with.

Prochs dynamic creations, featuring human figures and city landscapes, constantly push the boundaries of what we define as “street art” and “fine art” – whether they’re adorning the side of a building or displayed in a more traditional gallery setting. Proch is influenced by both genres, pulling from these two worlds to produce his unique, expressive pieces.
