In the year he graduated from the LVHP named after And Mukhina, a department of industrial art. Then he worked as an artist-designer at the plant and applied art plant. From the year - a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. He held several personal exhibitions, took part in group exhibitions. The works are in private meetings in Russia and abroad. There are people who, as it were, radiate the energy of good.
They are always reliable in difficulties, consistent and disinterested - this is how Viktor Makarov belongs.
His works embody the classical tradition, proving its immortality, the ability to fertilize the creative aspirations of the artist at the beginning of the 21st century. Victor Makarov is a lyrical landscape painter. He is fascinated by nature as the most important part of human being. After all, he grew up in the village, all his childhood passed in the Nizhny Novgorod region. He is attracted by the heat of his native places.
Admiring the former beauty of the surrounding objects, he leads the viewer after him, revealing before him the colorful world rich in impressions. He admires the wooden hut interiors with all home utensils. And in the paintings there are old spinning wheels, children's cradles, toys made of clay and wood, copper samovars, wicker rugs, a stove on which a grandfather with a little grandson sleeps.
On his work, you can study our history, the life of the Russian village. The artist writes compositions that are perceived as genre. They are written with detailed study with knowledge and love. Viktor Makarov’s canvases are united by the rare quality of picturesque talent: the ability to peer into a certain motive, internally penetrate them and after summarizing their impressions in a strict plastic form.
In his work, two lines are developing in parallel. The first is the interiors, still lifes, portraits where his manner is expressed freely, relaxed, at ease. The second is landscapes in which the artist spends a lot of time not only on the open air, but also in the silence of his workshop, when what he saw when genuine values are realized. Painting for him is not a job, it is joy and rest.
And with this joy in his every picture, he shares with the viewer. Nature is not just visible, but literally tangible, it seems that it descends from its paintings full of sounds and smells: a river with a multicolor rainbow, a horse grazing on the green of meadows, haymaking, measured village life. The lyricism of Makarov’s work is manifested in still life, most often tangible, it seems that it descends full of sounds and smells from its paintings: a river with a multi -color rainbow, a horse grazing on the green of meadows, a haymaking, measured village life.
Makarov’s lyricism is manifested in still life, most often these are flowers. They are depicted against the background of the interior or landscape. Anatole France said that once on the artist’s creative path two monsters lurk: a artist who did not become an artist, and an artist who did not become a craftsman. With confidence we can say that Viktor Nikolaevich Makarov did not become a victim of these monsters.
In his best paintings, the master and poet, high skill and creative inspiration harmoniously combined. Irina Glinkina, art critic Vernissage will take place on January 29 at 18 o’clock in the trapezoid on Bolshaya Morskaya, the exhibition will work on February 9.
