S. Makeev gives all his free time to the fine arts, in which he managed to achieve significant success. The range of creative interests of Sergey Makeev in modernist style is wide: painting, unique graphics (drawing and watercolor), print graphics (linocut and etching), sculpture (clay, wood, metal casting), medal art, photography. He works in various genres and a variety of visual techniques; Despite the breadth and universality, rare for today, a recognizable author’s style is inherent in his works.

The main genres in the painting of Sergey Makeev are landscape and still life, which the artist constantly refers to. In these works he achieves the greatest conviction. The common feature in these works is the European and Russian modernist tradition of the first half of the 20th century.

Paintings of recent times are written under the plastic charm of art by Swiss artist Paul Klee - reality and abstraction are combined on cardboard, the space is folded, fragmented; some works go into abstraction, in others reality wins.

The art of Sergey Makeev grew up on his own soil - he finds themes for his works in his native village; Studying the best examples of world artistic heritage, in his work the artist is inspired by the life-giving currents of his native land.

The exhibition is aimed at all categories of visitors, ideal for family viewing.
