🖼 Anya Stonelake of @whitespacegallery has shar

🖼 Anya Stonelake of @whitespacegallery has shared a fantastic collection of prints By St Petersburg based artist Stas Makarov. Some of the prints are gummipigment unique prints and some are digital.
.
Makarov was one of the original members of the 'New Academy of Art' in St Petersburg in the 1980s and 90s. This was a group of artists who rejected modernism and mined Russia's imperial and totalitarian past, sometimes ironically, as well as Hollywood movies, western advertising, kitsch and homoerotica for classical ideals of beauty. Makarov's 'Angels of St Petersburg' series of paintings, hand-coloured photographs and prints captures the faded grandeur of Russia's imperial capital by focussing on details of architectural ornament and public sculpture. The streaky gummiprint process used here is suggestive of peeling paint, washed-up beauty, or worn out ideals.
.
His works are in the collection of @vamuseum at http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1248225/angels-of-st-petersburg-print-makarov-stas/
.
To enquire about the prints, you can get in touch with Anya via anya@whitespacegallery.co.uk
