DUŠAN KOKAISL, PAINTINGS

The CHOPIN GALLERY will present a cross-section of Dušan Kokaysl's work, inspired by the artist's seventieth birthday. Dušan Kokaisl, a long-time curator of the Gallery in the Tower in Plana, had a great foundation in the history of art, constantly deepening his knowledge and at the same time being well versed in contemporary work. He approached art without prejudice and was able to appreciate contemporary progressive art. His erudition, insight and keen interest were infectious. He knew how to find a new point of view and historical context. All this influenced what and how he created. He was interested in art from childhood, but for political reasons he was only allowed to study at the College of Forestry. It was not until later in life that he devoted himself intensively to art. Nevertheless, he had several exhibitions in Pilsen and Plana during his lifetime. A large part of his work has been preserved together, so we can invite you to the exhibition, which will open on Friday 15 August and will run until the end of October.

The event is realized with the financial support of the town of Mariánské Lázně.
