%X The aim of the text is to explore whether elements typical of critical art (e.g., appropriation, subversion) can be utilized in art that affirms Polish ideas. The analysis and interpretation of works by Zbigniew Warpechowski, The Krasnals, Jakub Różalski, Ignacy Czwartos, Ada Karczmarczyk, Jakub Woynarowski, and Jarosław Modzelewski within the context of the initiative to “repaint Catholicism” using terms introduced by Grzegorz Sztabiński (such as “the shiver of transcendence” and “the margin of transcendence”) confirm the possibility of using tools that are seemingly only critical in affirmative art that nurtures the margins of Polish ideas.
