Peter Skubic
Peter Skubic (born August 11, 1935 in Gornji Milanovac , Serbia ) is an Austrian goldsmith and freelance artist.
Peter Skubic is regarded as a provocateur among jewelry artists and has been seen in the context of Austrian art since the 1960s.
Life
Peter Skubic studied from 1952 to 1954 at the technical school for metal arts in Steyr and from 1954 to 1958 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna with Professor Eugen Mayer. In 1966 he passed the master's examination as a gold and silversmith.
In 1979 he was appointed professor at the University of Applied Sciences for Art and Design in Cologne . 1983, 1984 and 1996 he was professor at the International Summer Academy for Fine Arts in Salzburg . From 2002 to 2003 he was visiting professor for jewelry design at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art in Halle .
His first free goldsmith's work began around 1969 and he was soon one of the internationally recognized, influential innovators in the profession. The central design principles are precision, angularity and radical minimalism.
The work ranges from ring sculptures with an erotic design language to tension brooches, balance and mirror objects or works with invisible jewelry to relic-like relics of performances. As early as 1975, long before the wave of body modification , he had a stainless steel jewelry plate implanted under the skin of his arm.
The artist-designer Peter Skubic sees jewelry making as an experiment, a sculptural or performative statement, body action, crossing boundaries and a creative act of liberation.
Peter Skubic lives and works in Gamischdorf in the municipality of Sankt Michael in Burgenland .
