Youth Violence in London Exhibition by young artist Pomichal

by Anna Pomichal

Opening night
Game or Quarry

Exhibition by Miroslav Pomichal

Monday 22nd June 2009, 7 – 10 pm
Czech and Slovak Club, 74 West End Lane, Hampstead, London NW6 2LX

Miroslav Pomichal is a young London painter. His subjects are always drawn from current political and social issues. The ‘Game or Quarry’ project is an exposition of youth violence in London, and the almost unreal quality of the suffering that it inflicts on the most young and the most vulnerable groups in our society.

Pomichal’s inks and watercolours speak with incredible power and force about a social problem that is impossible to grasp with photography. The desperation of the scenes is played out in a world where real figures blend into cartoons and demons, as if to mask the brutality of real life. In a further attempt to soften the blow of reality, much of the violence is set before gently blended Alpine and English landscapes, the bucolic dream of which is painfully absent from inner-city London life. The catalogue says:

‘The horrors of war are one thing: children raised and coerced to kill, as in the modern-day Janissaries of Africa. The horrors of peace are quite another: atrocities on our doorstep, more staggering for the mind than for the body, perpetrated in the name of a confused and alibistic notion of respect.’

Miroslav Pomichal graduated from the Courtauld Institute of Art, and gained experience in draughtsmanship at the Slade and Central Saint Martin’s schools of art, as well as the Prince’s Drawing Trust.

His meticulous style is underpinned by a careful study of the Old Masters, with colour and composition playing pivotal roles in every painting.
