Together with Sainer and the Robert Proch Foundation, a retrospective exhibition, Animowana Percepcja (Animated Perception), has just opened in Robert Proch’s hometown of Bydgoszcz, Poland. Running until October 30, 2024, this heartfelt tribute to one of the most influential Polish artists of his generation showcases the breadth of his creative genius. Curated by Karolina Pikosz with the support of Przemek Blejzyk (Sainer) and the Robert Proch Foundation, the exhibition offers a comprehensive look at Proch’s artistic career.
The exhibition features an extensive collection of Robert Proch’s works, gathered from the foundation’s archives and two private collections—those of Paweł Kita and Bartosz Kaczmarek. A curatorial text by Professor Jacek Adamczak from the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts in Poznań provides deeper insight into Proch’s unique artistic voice.
Known for his dynamic compositions and his ability to merge painting with animation techniques, Proch’s works on display range from large-scale murals to his animations. This exhibition celebrates the innovative ways Proch captured motion and emotion, seamlessly connecting traditional forms of art with animation.
With over 250 sketches, all his animations, and a curated selection of 20 of his finest paintings spanning his entire career, Animated Perception honors Robert Proch’s legacy and the lasting impact of his visionary approach to art.
