According to biographic legend the artist Krasil Makar was born in 1889 in the village of Nizhnyaya Sinyachikha, Sverdlovsk Region. His parents were peasants. From 1901 to 1939 in his spare time from seasonal field labor, he worked as a dyer, painting peasant’s log huts and household utensils. The works of that time hasn’t survived. In 2017 Krasil Makar moved to Ekaterinburg and declared himself with the help of the first street art projects demonstrating a free interpretation of the Ural-Siberian house painting technique. In his recent practice the artist animates the lost tradition of „dyeing trade”, developed in XVIII – XIX centuries. The Ural-Siberian painting on wood is a craft that did not become the widespread industry of the co-operative craft societies and large manufactures, and thus, it concerned its exclusive and hand-made character forever. Updating and adapting the practice of folk art have become the principal choice of Krasil Makar, who uses the expressive language of unique traditional craft.
