synopsis
Leaving aside the
Musica Picta series (1987), Pilař rarely worked with recordings of physical performances in his videos. In his art study
Painting, he composes an artistic space from three motifs: dance choreographies, collages and paintings, and chroma keyed images of fire, with Martin Hřebačka's abstract animations shining through occasionally.
biography
Radek Pilař (1931–1993) was one of the leading pioneers of video art in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s. Lying at the intersection of animation, video, and applied forms, his work was inspired by visual expressionism, pop art, and post-war avant-garde film.
