Temporary exhibition

Oskar Lubos “Construction/deconstruction”

February 14th – April 12th, 2026

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The exhibition “Construction/deconstruction” is a painterly story about a process – not only creative, but above all existential. In it, Oskar Lubos reflects on man’s internal struggle with himself: with the necessity to abandon, destroy or question what is known and familiar in order for something new to be born.

The artist treats the painting as a living entity, constantly undergoing change. The construction of the work is achieved through its internal deconstruction – successive layers are built, destroyed, covered and restored to existence. What came before does not disappear completely: it remains as a trace of thought, a record of decisions, a foundation for a new idea. It is in this tension between preservation and negation that the meaning of the painterly quest is born.

The creative process is based on the principle of ‘something for something’ – through destruction comes repair, and vanity, seemingly destructive, is transformed into a constructive element. The artist consistently reverses its negative meaning, making it the ideological framework of the painting. Matter, light, colour and form become equal participants in this struggle, and the issue itself becomes the building block of the work.

The presented works are inspired by the artist’s own objects – a kind of still life with structural features corresponding to the content of the paintings. Installations made of cardboard, string, wood and canvas, created during his studies, are not directly processed, but carefully observed. The artist is interested in their rhythms, the structure of matter and the way light refracts on surfaces, revealing the hidden dynamics of form ukrytą dynamikę formy.

“Construction/deconstruction” is an exhibition about constant becoming – about an image that is never finished, because it is constantly reforming, reborn and living anew. It is an invitation to take a close look at a process in which destruction turns out to be the beginning, not the end.
