Read MoreRobert Obier’s innovative approach to form and content has earned him critical acclaim, numerous awards, and exhibitions at major art fairs and museums across the United States. His work encourages viewers to navigate the space between tradition and transformation, sparking dialogues about science, spirituality, and the future of human identity.
Drawing from his extensive background in architecture and industrial design, Robert Obier reimagines humanity’s place at the intersection of technology and art. His intricate sculptures transcend mere form, blending mechanical precision with symbolic depth to explore the evolving definition of humanity in the modern age.
His work explores the intersections and obscures the boundaries between architecture, industrial design and art. Each piece is as much a realization of an abstract design concept as it is a unique work of three-dimensional art. A strict and systematic organization of components define this work and manifest a distinct unifying methodology that has both physical and spiritual origins. The fabrication combines the "tried and true" techniques of old-fashioned craftsmanship with today's most advanced rapid prototyping technologies such as CAD modeling, 3-D printing, and CNC fabrication. From creation through completion the dichotomy of ‘handmade’ and ‘computer generated’ informs the development and execution of the work.
Robert Obier was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he now resides. He received a Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Louisiana State University in 1981 and a Master's Degree in Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design in 2007.
