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
In today's social climate, the line between folk horror and urban myths is as thin and winding as the old streets of Prague. In our most recent historical memory, we have seen them re-enchanted by the decline in tourism and repopulated by lonely figures of stray night walkers and people excluded from society. The age-old idea of art as a mirror that allows us to see lived reality from a new perspective comes to mind, or perhaps a distorted glass surface can deform shapes and create illusions.
