Everyone sees her, and rightly so. And I already said everything on the canvas, and have to say, that did not need verbal explanation

I'll tell you what I love.
Peace and contemplation.
Light and shadow.
Clarity.
the fear and petrification.
Vibration of the soul, tone, and color.
Object.
Textures of materials.
Frontal composition.
the surface of the canvas and the physical sensation of touch of the brush.
Pattern as shown.
to Look for meanings.

Learning to love people — is impossible to understand and to regret.

to Store all these experiences are hard, they require material embodiment. And I write. Paintings about the world, about themselves, about their feelings of this world.

Irina Korsakov was born in 1960 in Moscow. Her father, a famous graph Leonid Mikhailovich Korsakov, was not just a teacher but a collaborator, a guide to the world of art. Moscow state academic art school of memory of 1905, which Irina graduated in 1980, became her alma mater —, it only says that he was able "do not dry up in the hands of skilled teachers, not to succumb to foreign influences" (proza.ru). Independence and courage — features are characteristic of the artist to this day.

at First Korsakov was engaged in graphics, but more and more fond of painting. Her creative pursuits occurred in the last decades of the century 20-го and beginning 21st-го, a time when cultural space is the transition from the postmodern to postpostmodern and when "new generations of artists increasingly abandon the aesthetic sensations deconstruction of parataxis, imitations in favor of est-этических notions of reconstruction, myth and metaxis" (metamodernizm.ru). This phenomenon demanded a heuristic shortcut, and one of those shortcuts was the term "metamodern", which was coined by a Dutch philosopher Robin van den Akker and Norwegian theorist Timotheus Vermeulen in his essay "Notes on metamaterial" (Notes on Metamodernism) published in the "Journal of Aesthetics & Culture" (2010). Parents the new term has tried to prove that in culture there was a turn from cynicism and irony to sincerity and romance.

the Picturesque concept Irina Korsakova are in many respects similar to those described in the manifest of metamoderation. For example, Irina is a series of works dedicated to children. It depicts them in the traditions of Russian art of the XVII and XVIII centuries, when children — are not small adults. The costumes, the poses, the composition is borrowed from the masters of the past. However, "look at dresses, hairstyles, — writes the artist, — they do not belong to a particular era. This — styling. I try to pull these “kids” of any cultural context. It is primarily the characters. They are timeless" (persona.rin.ru).

We find in the works of Korsakov citation characteristic of postmodernism, will not be here and "recognition effect". Here you can see the more formal search of the avant-garde combined with an appeal to the traditions of Russian art, to feel a certain naivety.

Children's themes was the impetus for the creation of another series — "Dolls". Very organic and Irina moved from one topic to another, because what could be more natural for a child than a game.

Irina creates images of dolls that can be called portraits. She deliberately emphasizes the special status of these "toys", choosing for this cycle portrait genre, can reveal multiple representations and interaction of the character with the audience. Dolls are not just attributes and not stencil the child's world, they come alive, they look, they explore the viewer and include him in a silent dialogue. It captivates and evokes emotion and a little scary. ""Doll" — on our souls beautiful and pure, the wise, the sick and the lonely,— says the author. — Often under clothes, curls, smiles hiding injuries, deformities, mental. When showing a person, it is always a specific character, and in the portraits of the dolls I see abstract images. About people in General". (artinvestment.ru).

the Series, called "Olive," was presented at the Museum of architecture im. A. V. shchuseva the exhibition "one Hundred views of the olive. Grove and stone". It includes works written in Montenegro — a country steeped in an atmosphere of Christianity. Images of old olive trunks, their bizarre forms, intertwining roots and branches give the impression of timeless beauty. They live in the ancient biblical spirit in them as if we see the shadow of the Jerusalem gardens. The impression of antiquity, eternity, and the distant past arises from the fact that she chooses the monochrome palette, without striking dissonance, which increases as harmonic beauty. There is a feeling United — eternity and strength.

Looking at the work of Irina Korsakov all the time go, where she takes your theme, why starting to pay attention to certain seemingly insignificant things. But in the details of our lives lies a huge space. In a series of "Macro" the artist formally microscope examines an object, increasing it to the audience several times. Maximum exacerbating thus the perception of the viewer, making real the unreal, the artist is constantly expanding the boundaries of ideas about the world.

the artist's Works are in private collections in Russia, Denmark, Germany, Yugoslavia, Israel, Mexico, Spain, USA, France.
