Born in Olomouc, Czech
Republic, EU, the artist Vladimir Obr is a painter, photographer,
and graphic artist who uses traditional techniques combined
with the virtual palette and paintbrushes of the computer
to create spectacular multimedia art. Now living and working
in Prague, he often begins his pieces by shooting photography
in the conventional manner using negative film. He then
works with creative materials including oils, acrylic paints,
pastels and/or watercolors, producing images of intense
yet sometimes delicate color and bold, energetic composition.
Finally he digitizes the works, completing them on the computer,
producing archival quality prints, which are limited to
editions of 10. Described by the art critic Dr. Miroslav
Klivar, President of the European Academy of Fine Arts,
Orb’s art is a matter of decomposition, where the
individual creative elements are isolated, deprived of their
iconic properties, resulting in a divergence of style. His
pieces are extraordinary not only for their amazing visual
intricacy but also for their overall exuberance.
Obr is registered in the National Register
of professional Visual Artists working in the Czech Republic,
EU, and is listed in the “Lexicon of Visual Artists
of the Czech Republic”, edition Chagall. He has exhibited
extensively in museums and galleries in Prague, Brno, Serbia,
Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, China, the Czech Republic,
Austria, Monaco and France.
