PRISTAL Miro (1951- ). Czech Canadian painter, born in Brno, Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). He went to Sarajevo and Beograd and from there emigrated to Canada in 1984, where he later settled in Toronto.

 

Since 2002, he has been living in France, in Paris. He studied architecture and technology at the Industrial School of Design, Kadan. He was mainly self-taught as an artist and started exhibiting in 1976. He was a progressive artist, a resistant, a dissident who had political problems and was persecuted. He begun his painting, mostly mix-media or specific post-abstract assemblages using a textile. In printmaking art, he discovered a new technic, destructive etching, in 1976. In Canada, later, he studied painting at the Ontario College of Art, and he was encouraged to take a monumental approach. After a graduation, he also took a degree in visual art and art history at the University of Toronto. He lived for a short time in Vancouver, in 1984, and London (1984-1988), where he acquired the Canadian citizenship and legaly changed his name. After, he lived in Toronto (1988-2001). In the period 1990-1991, he lived also in New York and Miami. In the year 2001, he moved to Geneva and Paris. He is an international artist and exhibited mostly in Europe, Canada and the United States. After some period of transformation, in Canada, he started again to paint, but more geometric abstract art, where also organic forms were associated with flat colours  and textural art. A serie of these paintings was entitiled "Macrodetails". Shortly after, he found out his technic, fluid art and his paintings became very dynamic, vivid and loose. He also soon introduced in his paintings a conceptual division of picture area and it was a begining of a synthesis with a geometry. He always tries to innovate categories. He developed his technic to virtuosity and high plateau and soon overcame similar Canadian and US Colour Field Painters as Jules Olitsky, Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler. But, in the late 1990, he suppressed his technic and moved slightly more towards a geometry. His departure to this highly restricted category was radical, almost controversial. He introduced a specific personalized imprints or calligrams and made it an integral part of geometric structure. This was his philosophical statement, a deeper personification and innovation of all flat geometry. This time was clearly seen, he already passed beyond his grounds of established Hard Edge Painters as Kenneth Noland, Frank Stella or Barnett Newman. In 2000, he created a painting "Black Negation", where austere black relief dynamic painting was close the limits of minimal art. He is more and more interested in a pure painting, and his philosophy his coming close to aesthetism. He sometimes paints with only one colour and he found out extremly interesting subtle tonal differences, way of application, strokes or lights. The paintings in black and white and those, almost monochromatic signaling the emphasis on simplicity and reductive principles in his art. After 2002, when he started to live in Paris, he visited all the museums and great majority of art galleries and realized he is a great avant-garde artist of world importance. It was a difficult period of centralisation and conceptualization in order to find different media and creative source. He was hospitalized and in this time, he started to make smaller works, where black calligrams were combined with flat organic patterns and strips. After 2005, he started again experimenting and working with acrylics and further devloped his fluid art and found out new application methods and a more radicalized geometric art. Comparaison of Pristal's art in 2010 with european artists in art galleries and great collections, for instance Société Générale Art Collection, Paris, and on the internet shows his world modern art supremacy. His new geometry becomes more radical and his canvases are shaped and synthetized with organic soft-edge fluid ideograms or patterns. In 2009-11 he created a serie of 200 drawing entitled: "Research and Developement of Abstract Experimental Dawings" and discovered a great  number of new abstract directions. At the same times, he also developed a serie of 700 modern figurative drawings and paintings and cycle "Geniums" and founded a new trend, Borgism. This is his enrichment to 21st century modern art. His genius is in his life preoccupation to search new directions, new technics and application methods with a synthesis of all possible principles. As an experimental artist, in his career, he was also involved in printmaking, illustration, design, archtecture and computer art. Combining painting and computers, he found out a computer can give him a edge in this great world contemporary art competition. But a computer without a great painter's mind and his input is only half a potential.
