“CR is an acclaimed Pop Artist who’s taking the golf world by storm” - Jack and Barbara Nicklaus

Mixed media artist, CR, Christopher Robin Obetz.

Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, in the 1970s, CR experienced the original genius of Roy Lichtenstien’s “Brushstrokes in Flight.”

Years later, CR would come to know and collaborate with Vito Giallo; Pop Art Icon and Founder, Andy Warhol’s first studio assistant and best friend. The two artists collaborated in their Brooklyn studios and townhouse. Based on CR’s mixed media assemblage vision, combining their talents, they created a series of large-scale collages celebrating the found object.

He majored in art history at Kenyon College, where he discovered his love for photography. As the young photographer shot urinals, soup cans and other mundane objects images of abandonment, as he called them, the motto “forgotten beauty found” emerged as a guiding philosophy in his work that continues today.
