View the Organic Surrealism in Wladimir Tasoff's Art at Agora Gallery
Latin Beauty, Oil on Canvas, 39" x 39"
About the Artist
Wladimir Tasoff’s massive oil and mixed media paintings offer a unique brand of organic surrealism charged with delicate intimations, traces and shadows. Overlapping, semi-translucent veils of rich, frosted pastel figuration sketch out the female body in synthesis with the vegetal and geographic features of the mysterious terrain. Adopting the characteristically surrealist trope of masquerade as metaphor, Tasoff’s dynamic use of hybrid female forms greet the viewer during precious instants of sensual slumber and spiritual discovery. Specific archetypes such as angels, enchantresses and deities appear to fuse seamlessly into their surroundings. Tropical oases, glacial slopes and dewy meadows emerge amidst illusions to Western and Oriental culture, fashioning mystical landscapes ripe with the beguiling fruit of forms, symbols and signs.
Wladimir Tasoff was born in 1970 in Russia. He has exhibited in the galleries of cities as diverse and far apart as Moscow, Stockholm, Dublin, Paris, New York and Quito, Ecuador, where he currently lives and works.
