Description

Ex Boyfriends 2 continues Inga Makarova's exploration of memory-laden materials, using upcycled denim and enamel to create a refined yet raw sculptural statement. This wall piece evokes both industrial design and personal history, turning the pocket, belt loop, and seam into elements of abstract geometry.

The work's title suggests layered meaning: the “Ex-Boyfriend" jeans model, but also what we leave behind – stories, styles, people. Makarova reclaims fabric as narrative. With its burnished crimson enamel and tactile surface, this piece is perfect for collectors who appreciate material honesty and conceptual nuance in minimalist form.

Presentation

“To create something meaningful, something real, you should truly love what you do, as well as the way you do it, and always be passionate about it. For me art will never turn into a boring routine, as I truly enjoy transferring my thoughts and ideas into artworks." Inga Makarova

Inga Makarova is an award-winning Ukrainian painter, sculptor and draftsman. With a background in fashion and graphic design, she translates both worlds into her mixed media compositions. Inga is constantly experimenting with new themes, concepts, images, new combination of colours and forms. Lately, in addition to various sources of light (like neon or LED that are used directly in her artworks), she also started experimenting with various objects that are often quite far from art, for example sport jackets, tableware, cutlery, and even cigarette butts. Inga Makarova's desire to innovate, rather than imitate, allows her to turn even the most ordinary themes into something new, unique, and fresh, once it got reflected in her artworks.
