[Zitko’s] graphical gestures tell us of despair and rage, his lines are messages from the physical journeys through joints, tendons, muscles and nerves... If colours are long-lasting explosions, Zitko’s colours are underground explosions, fires which the water of melancholy can hardly put out...He returns...with colours that are not just a front to hide behind, with forms that have no limits.
