Artist's Leg

The suite of large vibrant paintings are reflective probe into the process of painting as the creative act taking place in the environment of the art studios.

 Despite the apparent serious effort there is a ubiquitous element of exaggeration and irony. Miroslav Polách is the new author of the exhibition project start-up, profiling himself as one of the most outstanding personalities of the young generation of artists. For several years he systematically works on the new phenomenon of the current conception of painting.

Artist's Leg
Jiří David created this film for entirely personal reasons: as a gift for his father (who had shot the original footage) in order to raise his spirits as he suffered from an incurable illness. “The film’s creation was entirely unplanned. I took my father’s 8 mm films and transferred them onto VHS in the simple conditions of our flat: i.e., by projecting them on a screen and filming it with a VHS camera.”
