∆ Triangle Gallery is pleased to announce a new personal exhibition "Ray marching" by Kirill Makarov (born 1988, lives and works in St. Petersburg). Until December 10th.

"Ray marching, volumes convincingly lit, material set to unlit, subsurface scattering, NPC under IBL" - Makarov produces using a special technique that resembles the complex algorithms required to make a video game.
Working in the traditional medium of figurative painting, Kirill Makarov takes the often boring everyday life of the city to a new level of monumentality that is quite unspectacular. Whether strolling in the park, or playing ball, people are the main protagonists in the artist's work, yet they never seem to be entirely present. Reduced to blobs of color and washed out silhouettes, Makarov's main concern seems to be to capture the atmosphere of a place through painting rather than dwelling on details. The less fairytale the situation, the harder the task.

Kirill Makarov (b. 1988, Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Russia) lives and works in St. Petersburg. In 2011, he graduated from the Faculty of Design of the Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design, St. Petersburg. From 2013 to 2015, he took part in an artist residency at Abbaye de La Prée, France. He was the recipient of a grant for emerging artists from Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2012–2013).
