Mikhail Mikora paints Parizska Street in Prague on a cold, bright day, and the colour is the surprise here: a warm salmon-pink sky glows behind the buildings and bare-branched trees. Down the street, parked cars line the kerb, one of them a bright red that pulls the eye, while a couple of small figures walk off into the distance. A Gothic tower or spire rises at the end of the view, half-lost in the haze.
This is oil on canvas, 110 by 90 centimetres, worked with broad, broken strokes so the wet street and the facades blur slightly. It reads less as a postcard and more as one ordinary winter afternoon, the kind where the low sun throws an odd pink wash over everything.
