About the Artist: 

"...After graduating, Rob gained employment at Richmond Holographic Studios, working with pioneering artists Edwina Orr and David Traynor, and, at the same time, founded his own private holography studio, the forerunner of the studio and company he still runs today. In 1985, Rob was invited to help establish and run the world's first postgraduate degree in creative holography as one of the three founding members of staff of the Royal College of Art's Holography Unit.

​

During this time, Rob created some of the first computer-generated holographic stereogram artworks (1984), created the first-ever reflection holograms of living animals, being described by one magazine as the world's first 'wildlife holographer' (1984), designed and built the only dedicated holographic portrait studio outside of the USA (1985), and made the world's first micro-computer-generated holographic stereogram (1988). ...Rob also created the world's first 3D digital holograms, both embossed and reflection holograms, in early 1992.

​

Working as both an artist and a technical innovator, and specialising in portraiture and natural subjects, Rob has created many unique holographic works and light sculptures that can be found in collections and galleries throughout the world. These include The National Portrait Gallery, The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Royal Collections Trust, the UK Government Art Collection in London, the Imperial War Museum, the Maryland State Archives and the Fertitta Contemporary Art Collection. https://www.rob-munday.com/biography

Per Rob Munday:  " Thought to be the first ever reflection and rainbow transmission holograms of living animals, created using a ruby pulsed laser."
