Discovering Max Berry

Max Berry’s work creates a world where every object has a life of its own. A daydream land where houses talk to clouds and characters float playfully in abstracted space. Influenced by comics cartoons, he conducts his research eating cereal in front of the TV, admiring the breakfast cartoons of a super-flat 2d world. Max is interested in the duality of things, emerging you in a state of Utopia and Dystopia – good bad, big and small, often taking a very literal form, manifesting itself in textures, raw splashes and drips vs clean and super bold lines. His characters appear in many forms, as paste ups, stickers, canvas, walls, live painting sessions, and on cardboard busking. With multiple gallery opportunities and large mural installations, Max has become part of the cultural landscape of inner Sydney.
