Tamara Korako

Art Brokerage: Tamara Korako Belarus Artist: b. 1965. The whimsical, arresting figurative studies of Russian artist Tamara Korako capture the raw essence of the solitary human form and uniquely project the individuality of the subject's artistic spirit. The paintings and sketches of Tamara Korako are bold statements of the innate sense of style that emanates from the artist. Indeed, fashion, style and a refined artistic technique collude to render figurative studies that compel the viewer to see not only the design aesthetic of the subjects adorned in her imaginative works but also the artist?s technique. That is to say that the sophistication of her vision for original costume design is matched with Korako?s studied appreciation for artistic technique - the melodic, refined lines of the costume aesthetic are brought to life with sophistication. These paintings are not just staid blueprints for dress design as might be found in the fashion industry; rather, they are renditions of the human figure informed by the academy and a particular vocation to bringing life to the subject. A Korako painting emphasizes the emotional personality of the artist herself that create life as much as they create a singularly adventurous experience in whimsical design. Stains dissolve in the space of the canvas to reveal light; this light is pure and suggests the feeling of movement and air around the figure. Whereas lines employed in various design would normally suggest the limits of the subject Korako moves beyond these pragmatic borders to reveal her own feelings and emotions. Her figurative studies don a sense of magic and capriciousness as much as the beauty and grace found in their shapely silhouette. Listings wanted.
