Igor Korotash
Upper level, West Atrium, near Door 5
Three works of art by Igor Korotash, a Ukrainian-born artist, who paints landscapes in the impressionist style, are on display in the West Atrium. Welcoming You Home, a picture of the lighthouse on Sanibel Island, and White Cottage are located near the Delta Air Lines ticket counter. The larger three-piece painting near the US Airways ticket counter is entitled Iris Pond. The bold, rich colors of these oil on canvas paintings are reflective of Southwest Florida and are on loan from the Gallery on Fifth in Naples, Florida. Click HERE to learn more.
