Rob Ober (b. 1968, Wiesbaden, West Germany) is an American artist based in Kent, CT, who
paints intuitive and highly-expressive images. His works depict a wide range of subjects
including iconic deities, historical figures, carnal acts, his memories of living abroad, and
languid alligators resting on the shore.
Born the son of a US diplomat, Ober spent his youth growing up in Moscow, Dehli, Athens
and Bethesda, MD, all locations that inspire his art practice. Following college, Rob began
obsessively collecting Russian nonconformist art, and in 2006 he opened Ober Gallery in
Kent, CT, where he gave early shows to many artist-friends including Brian Belott, Katherine
Bradford, Lance De Los Reyes, and Robert Nava.
Ober began seriously painting on his own seven years ago and has since group shows at PM/
AM London and at Stems Gallery Paris. His first solo show Motley Crew was 2022 at SHRINE
in New York.
