NEW ART OF ICON IN A NEW CONTEMPORARY ORTHODOX ARCHITECTURE – APPLICATIONS VERSUS SYNTHESIS?
Abstract
Poland, as cultural and religious borderlands which are now, as in the past, a part of Latin, West Roman-Catholic, Greek-Slavic and East Orthodox culture, is a good place to apply comparative analyses of art of both Christian Churches: the Eastern and Western one. This paper presents selected examples of interaction between architecture, iconography and theology in contemporary sacred art of the last decade in Poland. It also shows the process of evolution of traditional spatial and functional structures and application of new iconography conventions in the Orthodox temples. It covers problems in art as well as new essential ideological aspects of symbolical and liturgical nature. The effects of design and creation work presented in this paper, serve as a basis to classify these objects as traditional. This assessment of the synthesis of art achieved here – being always the basis for creating the liturgical mystery play within the Orthodox Church – is left to the reader himself.
