Beginning with the new season Contemporary Art Center WINZAVOD announces the name of new art curator of special project supporting young Russian artists. He is talented educator and artist Vladimir Logutov and under the auspices of Vladimir the first time Kirill Makarov’s paintings will be presented on START. The debut exhibition of young artist are simple stories: a man in the mirror, a child sitting on the ground, group of people are doing basic things. Represented people are self-absorbed, they are not interested in surroundings, they seem to be out-of-body in this empty space, they are partially concealed or have a secret. There is a concern.
There is no clear-eyed understanding of what is happening and why. And the whole action takes place in the mind of the represented characters. They are in the contemplation of the actions of their inner world. We observe a comparison of 2 point of view, 2 different possible scenario. We can propose that we see the visualized stream of consciousness of some character, his memories.

What the Contemporary figurative painting means? How can it exist and in what forms? In the arsenal of painting there are few resources which are not used by other media, but this few resources introduce the crystal clarity and purity in painting. We can think that the contemporary painting doеs not have the right to exist until we will see some examples which reject this view! One of these examples is Kirill Makarov. He is the striking example of contemporary painter who believes in the arsenal of artistic resources which are remained in her figurative form of painting.
