Robert Proch – painter, muralist, animation film-maker. He was one of the most acclaimed mural and street art creators of the young generation, whose artistic footprint has permanently enriched the space of many cities in Poland and around the world. He was the first Polish artist to have a solo exhibition at the iconic London gallery of Steve Lazarides – Banksy’s collaborator, curator and promoter.
Graduate of the Leon Wyczółkowski Secondary Art School in Bydgoszcz in 2005; in 2010, he graduated from the Faculty of Multimedia Communication at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań (specialisation: animation), where he later also worked as an assistant.
He is appreciated not only for his large-format paintings, but also for his animated films. His body of work included three short films: Fugu from 2008, Wirus (Virus) from 2009 and Galeria (Gallery) from 2010, for which he received the second prize at the Animocje Animation Film Festival in Bydgoszcz (2012) and the award for best animated film at the Curta Cinema International Short Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro (2011).
Robert Proch’s work has been presented in dozens of group and solo exhibitions in Europe and the USA. “Animated Perception” is the first presentation of this artist’s work in his home city. The axis of the exhibition is formed by animations and images juxtaposed in such a way as to bring out the relationship between them. We also show archive material and texts about Proch’s work.
