Tomáš Mitura: Chasing Shadows

Tomáš Mitura’s mural Chasing Shadows, which follows on from Lucie Lučanská’s work presented here last May, is a piece that straddles the boundaries of expressive painting, street art, comics, and subcultural imagery. The central motif is a pair of characters - a bald boy and a girl goalkeeper -  grinding along the edges of the sidewalks. They climb 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 as they walk. Tomáš Mitura himself comments on the mural’s theme as follows: “In the streets, a person is like on a battlefield, always in a hurry, and the rules are constantly changing.”

Tomáš Mitura (*1988, Frýdek-Místek) is a painter, graphic artist, and tattoo artist living and working in Prague. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Painting Studio IV, 2010–2016) and also studied at the Taipei National University of the Arts in Taiwan. Since 2011, he has been exhibiting both solo and in group shows - his exhibition projects include Maltovy schody (Studio Hrdinů, 2016), Frost (A.M.180, 2017), Conjure Good Ass War (Kavárna Pod Lipami, 2020), and Pondělní dítě (Galerie Věž, Frýdek-Místek, 2022). He focuses on painting, illustration, and graphic design for the music scene - he has created dozens of album covers, posters, and visuals for bands in the Czech Republic and abroad. He is the frontman of the band Vole and a member of the group Sněť. In the contemporary scene, he operates at the intersection of visual art and underground music culture, where he combines painting with graphic design, tattooing, and performance. Together with Sára Dubná and Štěpán Marek, he is a co-author of the two-part tattoo zine POKEPOKEPOKE.
