Robert Proch Passes Away at 33

Painter, animator, and muralist Robert Proch has passed away at the age of 33. The Polish artist was known for a dynamic blend of the figurative, architectural elements, shifting perspectives, and an innovative, kinetic energy coursing through his works. Collaborators KIRK Gallery and Thinkspace Projects both confirmed his passing after a message was posted on his Instagram account Thursday evening.

Painter, animator, and muralist Robert Proch has passed away at the age of 33. The Polish artist was known for a dynamic blend of the figurative, architectural elements, shifting perspectives, and an innovative, kinetic energy coursing through his works. Collaborators KIRK Gallery and Thinkspace Projects both confirmed his passing after a message was posted on his Instagram account Thursday evening.

An excerpt from Thinkspace’s statement on Instagram: “Rest easier now my friend. Our hearts go out to your children and family. You were one of the most humble and talented people I’ve ever met. I wish you realized how many people the world over loved you. We will miss you.”

At the top of the page is his most recent shared mural, created in Grenoble. Below, we have examples of the brilliant painter’s work, on both public structures and gallery walls. He was featured on our site several times, most recently here.

Jonathan Viner Debuts Dreamy New Figurative Paintings in “Strange Math”

Brooklyn based artist Jonathan Viner pursues dreamlike visions that blend the design aesthetic of the time he grew up in, the 1970s, with cool tones and pops of bright colors. First featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 34, and on our blog, one of the strengths of Viner's oil paintings lies in their stylish look, using elements of the era's sex appeal, trendy accents, kitsch and fashion, to pump up their nostalgia and intrigue. In his upcoming exhibition "Strange Math" at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Viner offers a cinematic narrative in a series of new allegorical paintings.

Mike Dargas Paints Dripping Female Portraits

Born in Cologne, Germany, former tattoo artist Mike Dargas paints portraits of women dripping in honey. His hyperrealistic oil paintings are painted on a large-scale and appear as impressive photographs. With such provocative titles as "Golden Thoughts," "The Ecstasy of Gold," and "Carpe Diem Baby," the portraits exude a certain opulence, suggesting honey as a metaphor for gold. Using this analogy, his paintings may be interpreted as commentaries on the role of monetary wealth in contemporary society. With closed eyes and probing tongues, Dargas' women become greedy narcissists caught in moments of private ecstasy.
