Victor Spahn was born on March 20, 1949 in Paris of Russian parents.
Victor Spahn was born on March 20, 1949 in Paris of Russian parents. After his secondary studies, he worked for a fabricator of mosaics, and for pleasure composed his first mosaic wall. His painting and printmaking are a direct result of his extensive work in mosaic techniques. His style suggests movement and dynamism in the subjects that he portrays and they appear to capture the essence of movement in a particular moment. Spahn paints with a combination of palette knife and brush, and enjoys great success in lithography, serigraphy, and most recently in the creation of hand-embellished graphic works.
Spahn has participated in many exhibitions, including the Salon of Independent Artists, France, in 1970. He also won first prize in New York for a mosaic table. Personal exhibitions followed in Paris in 1976 for the Societe Toyota; Galerie Wally Findlay, Chicago and Palm Beach, Florida, in 1984. In 1981 he designed the set for the play ?Rembrandt of Glass? for television and created a poster for the world championship of handball in 1988. Spahn has enjoyed the publication of a hardcover book on his work, and his serigraph ?Autumn Polo? was acquired by Jacques Chirac, President of France.
