Gouaches from Cluny

By Wojciech Tuleya

Mysticism and art. Romanesque architecture, the charm of narrow stone streets in a Burgundy town. The latest works by Krzysztof Kokoryn capture the landscape of Cluny.

Kokoryn is inspired by travels. After his Italian fascinations and returns to beloved Rome, he set off for France – to Cluny, where since the early 10th century the famous Benedictine abbey was located – a center of Christian ideas and a magnificent hub of Romanesque art and architecture. And around it, landscapes with hills covered in vineyards and cows in meadows, a bicycle path built on the old railway line. Silence, few people, and wine.
