Gleb Skubachevsky, a contemporary Russian painter, underwent a transformative phase in his artistic journey while studying in the studio of Aidan Salakhova and Sergey Ossovsky at the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Under their mentorship, Gleb's unique artistic concept began to take shape, marking a significant turning point in his art biography.

Exploring the possibilities of materials and pushing the boundaries of reference, Gleb Skubachevsky ventured into creating expansive canvases. In 2015, he further expanded his repertoire at the Dukley European Art Community, where he developed a distinctive technique at the intersection of painting and plasticity. Utilizing ornate, fragile volumes of paper mounted on a wooden frame, his artworks transcend the two-dimensional plane without sacrificing the essence of pictorial abstraction.

Gleb Skubachevsky's artistic exploration extends beyond the confines of his studio, as he actively participates in numerous art residencies worldwide. Collaborating with talented artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, he absorbs their works and concepts, contributing to his ongoing education and understanding of different cultures. The artist remains in a perpetual state of search, continually seeking new creative ideas and techniques, evolving from large canvases to intricate objects and sculptures.

Recognition followed in 2016 when Gleb entered the Top 100 list of recognized young Russian artists, according to INART magazine. He also boasts two UNESCO awards for his participation in art symposiums—Patras Art Fair and the Athina Art Fair.

Private collections around the globe house Gleb Skubachevsky's works, from Great Britain and Montenegro to Greece, Italy, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland, France, Brazil, Dubai, Georgia, Turkey, and China.

In Gleb's own words, anything has the potential to be material for artwork, aligning with his philosophy rooted in pragmatism. His artistic practice is a manifestation of aesthetic experience, and he remains in constant exploration, creating paintings, sculptures, and installations in his unique technique, utilizing fragile mediums.

Skubachevsky's art practice delves into topics that universally captivate humanity. He explores the symbiosis of plastic and pictorial expressiveness, generating visual variations of extraterrestrial forms and the primary source of life. Employing microscopic optics and natural scientific tools of cognition, he crafts alienated forms that intrigue and provoke thought.

Operating within the paradigm of metamodernism, Gleb Skubachevsky seeks a delicate balance between experimental form and material, between clarity and ambiguity. His works, simultaneously alien and familiar, exude extreme fragility and aggression. This delicate equilibrium allows him to create and explore images of alternative life forms, offering a glimpse into a potential reality of the future.

Exiguum (eng. “a little”) is a series of miniatures in transition: from flat to slightly sculptured surfaces. I took inspiration from looking at the simplest forms of life captured with an electron microscope and then transferred them to my canvases. Sometimes they are quite portrait, sometimes I give myself a lot of freedom creating them. The two-dimensional space is not enough for me, I need to bring each of my canvases into three-dimensional space and I do it by combining different textures and using paper tendrils.

The artworks are made in my author's technique combining acrylic paste and paper. Thus, the paintings have a relief surface with pile (hair) fragments and tendrils.
