Mara Korkola
Biography
No place 602, 2024
Toronto-based painter Mara Korkola is nationally recognized for her captivating works that compress worlds of information into compact frames. While many of Korkola’s paintings capture anonymous city streets at night, her subject matter has also included airports and landscapes. Like keyholes, her paintings demand our attention and focus and transport us into another time and space. Korkola graduated from the Ontario College of Art, Toronto (AOCA); Wichita State University, Kansas (BFA) and the University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio (MFA). She has exhibited in Canada, the United States and Germany, including Painting as Paradox at Artists Space in New York, Synthetic Psychosis at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto, High Roads and Low Roads at the Museum of Fine Arts at Florida State University, 60 Painters, a survey of Toronto painters, Auto-Motive: World from the Windshield, at Oakville Galleries and has had a comprehensive solo exhibition of her No Place series of paintings at the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ontario. Korkola is held in corporate and private collections, and is the recipient of numerous grants and awards including the Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
