Kip Kowalski: My work is an audacious and blasphemous satire of human ignorance and apathy that confronts the absurdities I find in many contemporary religious beliefs. I tackle biblical lore that is celebrated as fact over the findings of empirical science, such as the denial (held by over 50% of the populace) that evolution is real. I use my work to mock and challenge these follies - which are passed down from generation to generation - drawing and painting the comically grotesque and the obscenely ugly to create a narrative that questions these preposterous teachings using a surreal mix of metaphors, visual distortions and slapstick humor. I believe that this ignorance causes suffering and despair on personal (hatred) and global (war) levels. This grotesquery may cause uneasiness in the viewer; not because of the deformed imagery itself, but because the subject matter disturbs - and questions - the viewer's conscious beliefs.
