About artist: French Native, Max moved to Ireland over 10 years ago. "From an early age the world has always been a big pixel to me. Beause of my poor sight it helped to make a blurry world clear. I always loved pixel characters from video games. They were the caricature of my deep myopia vision. Until I got Lasik, every landscape, television show, people passing by were pixels to me. After my eye surgery, I discovered a world of definition but, my brain and imagination was still associating what l used to see, incorporating in my day time dream, evasion, my pixel characters. I want to bring the viewer into this world I created, and the world that was also very comforting to me, the video games. Blend and combine this world of "Pixel" and create my vision of art and reality. Mixing the new with old, the present and the past, the contemporay, classic, and the popular. My present with my past. My past with my present. - Mimicking computer graphics with plastic beads that I melt together to give the desired shape.
About artwork: "Max takes the pixel from the world of computers and constructs images in the real world using beads to build images, creating new environments and scenarios. Old paintings are often used to highlight the contrast between modern technology and and the natural environment, creating a bridge from the representation of the real world to an imagined one. Giving new meaning to both the pixelated work and the traditional landscape, merging new with old, the real with the imagined"
