Marek Škubal: God of Repulsive Things

The God of Repulsive Things – A collection of 65 scratchboard drawings engraved with a scalpel is the culmination of his doctoral work at AVU in Jiří Petrbok's studio. Sixty-five different forms of a single being, a symbolic God, capable of absorbing polarities and uniting them. Questions of evil and good, beauty and ugliness no longer decide here. God is not a being, he unites opposites and transforms them into another unity. It is born from the darkness that it continues to consume and grow from. Darkness is his essence, an integral part and structure of his body. The cycle, based on the genesis of the author's previous work and experience with Eastern philosophy, has a spiritual character both in its content and in the process of its creation. It does not cause decay, but eternal growth.
