THE ARTIST MAXIMILLION

MAXIMILLION Several years ago, the artist Maximillion emerged from a single atom located at the base of his brain, where he had been hiding . He had been through an extreme crisis involving the disintegration and re-integration of his personality, against the backdrop of the bitter winter snow in a blank February sky.

NEW WAVE SURREALISM Later, insect-like, he emerged from his psychic metamorphosis; a recycled human, better stronger and wiser than before. Discovering a new artistic expression and inspired by the art and revolutionary ideas of the original Dada & Surrealist movements, his art explores the world of dreams and alternate realities. It is surrealism for the digital age, imbued with the spirit of punk and refashioned as New Wave Surrealism.

COLLAGE He uses vintage ephemera & found objects to create his collages, whose images fit together like some unfathomable jigsaw, which offer the viewer a vision of unknown beings glimpsed in another realm.

ALCHEMY Maximillion’s images are captured and printed digitally. However they are NOT digitally manipulated. What happens in that theatrical moment, when realities collide, cymbals crash and the red velvet curtains part to reveal the unfathomable, is pure alchemy. Maximillion’s art enables the viewer to enter a surreal dreamworld, unfettered by time, space or convention.
