Corine Ko Artist

Corine Ko lives and works in the Marseille region. Originally from Paris, after studying literature, Corine combined her passion for painting and the world of childhood by moving towards specialised animation.

She paints with very diluted acrylic and ink, using various materials to create her identifiable style, all contributing to the “timeless and sometimes accidental journey”. The material never seems under control, nor locked in a definitive form. Her artistic process fuses photography and painting. Photography is literally embedded in her canvases, lending the work a soul and substance that is adorned by the colours of the painting. She also sometimes uses shreds of torn paper – either lace or printed paper – which add relief to the work and animate the surface with splashes of bright colour, embellishing silhouettes that do not have a clear outline; instead, it is the colour that defines the shapes and gives them life, liberating them to escape and spread, apparently dissolving the provisional form.
