Biography

Robert Barta casts an amused eye on the world and finds the material for his artistic work in everyday objects or situations-the foundations of his unbridled world. With slight alterations, incongruous combinations, plays on words and shift in meaning, he establishes a strategy of misuse which transforms the nature of familiar objects to reveal their inner essence and the paradoxes and tensions that give them life.

Robert Barta (*1975, Prague) studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Kџnste Munich und the San Francisco Art Institute, where he made his MFA.
