Robert Gabris’s large-scale drawing The Garden of Catastrophy (2024) seeks, in his words, not to “aestheticize the concept of dying,” but to engage with flaw, failure, and imminent disaster. Gabris’s detailed pencil work—depicting interrelated beings—functions, as he explains, as “an integral part of retelling historical oppression and pain, embodying the idea of existence afterward.

Gabris graduated (B.A.) from the Academy for Applied Arts in Bratislava in 2010, and received his Diploma (Mag.art.) from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 2014. His work engages in a critical examination of fluid and changeable identity through drawing and experimental forms of performance, employing deconstruction and an ongoing quest to challenge boundaries.
