Robert Proch’s Dynamic, Colorful Murals and Paintings

Robert Proch is a muralist, painter, and animator who lives and works in Poznan, Poland. His 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.


Robert Proch is a muralist, painter, and animator who lives and works in Poznan, Poland. His 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.



The artist’s futuristic-looking, “glitchy” paintings call to mind aesthetics of digital animation (the artist studied animation at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan). Intersecting people with fragmented geometric shapes, Proch also uses his distinct style to blur the lines between abstraction and realism. As noted in his biography by Kirk Gallery, “Proch’s style is inspired by state-of-the-art animation as much as classic caricature, and impressionism as much as modernist graffiti. The mini-narratives he paints examine the modern human condition using vivid colors and tangible emotions… and presents an emotional reality that remains pleasing and easy to identify.”




Proch was born in 1986. While he has also produced animated videos, his success with murals and works on canvas has led him to dedicate more time to these mediums in recent years. Proch’s work has been exhibited in Munich, Los Angeles, Paris, San Francisco, and Warsaw.

Kevin Francis Gray’s malformed and surreal figures, rendered in varieties of marble and fiberglass, exhibit both a more honest, visceral reflection of humankind in their incompleteness. The Ireland-born, London-based sculptor creates work that in its seemingly soft form, defies its stubborn material. Shown both against interior and exterior backdrops, that quality plays with its surrounding environment.
Isaac Cordal brings new sculptures to C.O.A. Galerie in Montreal with "Ego Monuments," his distinctive everyman showing the solitude of contemporary living. Alongside his balding figures is a depicting of the U.S.'s embattled leader in "Game of Thrones" and human-faced livestock grazing an urban puddle. The show runs through Oct. 12. (Cordal was last featured on our site here.)
Philadelphia based artist Nosego paints colorful and emotive images of animals inspired by the idea that we are all connected to our surroundings. We recently featured his exhibition of multimedia paintings "Along Infinite River", here on the blog, where Nosego portrays wild animals morphing into mystical environments. For his latest mural titled "Little Moment", Nosego continues to infuse his work with celestial elements and bright colors, but he also wanted to do something a little "different".
British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley explores the relationships between our bodies and the world around us—and even our place in the universe. Through his work, whether in traditional settings, installations, or in public artwork, the artist focuses on the human form with varying approaches. Towering figures like "Exposure" are hunched over in contemplation in the Netherlands. Or in more controlled environments, like galleries across the world, lifesize figures like those depicted in "Domain Field" are scattered across the space.
