The year 2023 has been declared the Year of Jerzy Nowosielski by the Polish parliament. To mark the occasion, Contemporary Lynx, in collaboration with Kitchen Conversations and with the support of the Polish Cultural Institute London, has created a podcast about this remarkable artist, who is so little known outside Poland.
Patrycja Rozwora conducted the podcast interview with Agnieszka Tes – an art historian, critic, curator and painter specialising in the spirituality of abstract art. As the artistic director of the IMO Gallery in Stary Sącz, she recently curated an exhibition entitled ‘Sacrum – Icon – Abstraction. Around the work of Jerzy Nowosielski’. In the podcast, she shares her extensive knowledge of Nowosielski, focusing on how his work inspires and influences future generations of artists.
Jerzy Nowosielski (1923-2011) was a Polish painter, illustrator, stage designer, philosopher and Orthodox theologian. He is regarded as one of the most outstanding contemporary painters. In addition, his exemplary abstract geometric compositions became famous for combining Christian art and the avant-garde to create a whole new, extraordinary style of sacred art.
