A&A Interior gallery invites you to open talk with the artist Irina Korsakova
9 July, 7.00 pm – Aqua Residences, Porto Montenegro, Tivat
Admission is free, registration is required.
Irina Leonidovna Korsakova is a renowned contemporary Russian artist, painter and graphic artist, and a member of the Moscow Union of Artists (MOSKh). She has gained recognition for her unique artistic style, which reinterprets classical painting techniques and the traditions of the old masters. The artist spends much of her time living and working in two countries – Russia and Montenegro.
She was born in 1960 in Moscow into an artistic family. Her father was the renowned Soviet graphic artist Leonid Mikhailovich Korsakov, who became her principal mentor.
In 1980, she graduated from the Moscow Art School in Memory of 1905.
She began her career with easel graphics, but in the early 1990s switched entirely to oil and acrylic painting. She has been actively exhibiting at venues in Russia and abroad since 1981.
The recurring themes in Irina Korsakova’s work are portraits of children, antique dolls and masks. Her best-known series are ‘Children’s Games’ and ‘Dolls’. Irina often employs a complex technique of multi-layered painting, reminiscent of the old European masters, combining oil and acrylic.
Irina Korsakova’s works have been exhibited in major galleries in London, Germany, Denmark, Montenegro and Moscow (including the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture and the Totibadze Gallery). Her paintings are held in private collections around the world: in the USA, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain and Israel. One of her most significant projects in recent years has been the landscape series ‘One Hundred Views of Olive Trees: Grove and Stone’, created in collaboration with her husband, the artist Sergei Maksyutin, inspired by the natural landscape of Montenegro.
The event will take place as part of the exhibition Elea. Mediterranean Code. Painting by Irina Korsakova, which opened at the A&A Interior gallery on 25 June. The exhibition runs until 22 July.
