6 min readJun 30, 2023

The WORLD ART AWARDS winners in CATEGORY 50. SCULPTURE -NONREPRESENTATIONAL live in USA, PHILIPPINES, PORTUGAL, CHINA, AUSTRIA & GERMANY.

Artists from 79 countries competed in the 2023 WORLD ART AWARDS where 20 of the most revered galleries in the world were sent online images to score in drawing, painting, sculpture, digital and photography.

BIO OF 1ST PLACE WINNER: Robert Obier is an award-winning artist. His work as an architect/designer/illustrator has been featured in numerous exhibitions, magazines and web articles. His high-tech sculptural designs have appeared on network television and were selected for a “location shoot” in a major motion picture.

His range of eclectic influences include the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the explorations of geometry in nature by Andy Goldsworthy and the theatrical creations of Industrial Light and Magic for a time long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

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. 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 LSU in 1981 and a Master of Science Degree in Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design in 2007. obierstudios.com
