About Ko

Corine Ko

Corine Ko, painter and photographer

KO's painting is both a poem and its muse, as it not only creates but also inspires. Her work opens spaces of gentle meditation, where one can wander, rest, dream, and sometimes even heal. The characters that inhabit her canvases, brought to life by a unique breath, always exude a timeless grace, adding depth and serenity that transcend both time and space.

In Corine Ko's artistic work, photography and painting are inseparably intertwined. She reworks her photos with a painter's eye, integrating heterogeneous elements that transform them into true digital collages. Conversely, photography physically merges into the canvas, giving it both a soul and a body, which the painting then clothes in color.

Occasionally, torn pieces of paper, such as lace paper or printed paper, are added to bring relief and animate the surface with vivid touches of color. These silhouettes, without clearly defined contours, are shaped by color, which gives them life as it escapes and spreads, temporarily dissolving the established forms.

What immediately stands out in Ko’s painting is the freedom of color, which often exceeds the boundaries of forms, dominating an environment without spatial or temporal reference points.

In this flat space, where figures sometimes seem suspended or in balance, the thread becomes the sole point of connection with the world and between individuals. This connection, this thread, may be one of the keys to understanding this enigmatic and poetic work.

This thread, running from one painting to another like an obsessive motif, is much more than a simple accessory: it symbolizes life, a guiding thread that links the works together, giving the painting direction and meaning.

From one piece to another, a feminine universe emerges, full of sensuality, poetry, softness, and mystery.

Originally from the Paris region, Corine Ko has lived and painted in Marseille since 1998. She works in a beautiful studio, where she exhibits both her paintings and photographs.
