Tomáš Mitura: Chasing Shadows

Exhibition

Tomáš Mitura: Chasing Shadows is a mural piece that straddles the boundaries of expressive painting, street art, comics, and subcultural imagery. The central motif features a pair of characters—a bald boy and a girl goalkeeper—grinding along the edges of sidewalks, climbing up a precarious cone toward an undefined danger. They are figures without a foothold, moving through the city as if in a game whose rules change unpredictably. The artist comments: "In the streets, a person is like on a battlefield, always in a hurry, and the rules are constantly changing."
