Artist Petr Zlamal (*1949)

Zlamal ranks among prominent expressive
Czech painters of the older middle generation.

In the last two decades Zlamal has created his paintings usually by covering a specific figure scene by layers of pigment, which he consequently digs up as an archeologist and again covers by layers of paint. Zlamal´s dealing with the phenomenon of time is another element which within the uniqueness of his art connects him with the tradition of Central European Expressionism and the explosiveness of the Neue Wilde of the 1980s. Despire their complecated painterly and psychological structure, his naturally monumental images seem to be not only unsettling, but also contemplative, because they are ever more literally permeated by the “Zlamal” light.
