The artist name Max Blax expresses a manifesto. The maximum is the abundance of emotions that find their way out through art. It is the abundance of interpersonal relationships that can be reflected in art. Or it's just the abundance of life that we all strive for. If light is information, black is the darkness, the suspitious, the ominous, which eludes our knowledge, but which makes us curious; It is what we want to explore and discover, where we want to bring light into, to place ourselves in there as humans. Just as we explore the infinite dark universe in order to locate ourselves as creatures in it, so Max Blax fully explores the darkness of his soul, the darkness in our society. Why we surrender to vice, why we commit sins and why everything happens as it happens. Today with this exhibition and performance, he takes us on a little trip to the infinite depths of the human abyss and its summit. Each exhibition is not just for the observer, but to set an end point for the suffering of the artist. Today's exhibits show how learning from interpersonal relationships works. How feelings are reflected in art and expressed there. If a person is unable to speak about his feelings because he has not learned that, then he has to teach himself, then he uses media other than language to express the whole. This creates a duality between the narrated and the narrator. Max Blax's interdisciplinary approach is an excellent example of this. How do I paint a poem, how do I dance my suffering, how do I draw my dance. But what we see in his performance is much more than Expressionism. It is happening. It is action painting up to lyrical abstraction. All of this is expressed by Max, the suffering of life, the sublimation of instincts, the overcoming of trauma, the death but also the new birth. It is a symbiosis between dance and painting, an ambivalence between enjoyment and catharsis. It is the phoenix that has to burn out to be able to rise from its own ashes.
„I“ come from places where it’s not customary to speak the truth, so lets show it ... The Soul is the truth, and everything else was invented by people. You are - Humanity, you will suffer, because raised the Ego - this is a disease, you must to living for your soul, because Soul - came here not for this...

2020 Я из таких мест, где правду не принято говорить в слух, поэтому ее покажу... Душа - это правда, а все остальное придумано людьми. Вы - Человечество, будете страдать до тех пор, пока слушаете взрощенное вами Эго. Только вот Душа, проявилась в теле не за этим...

Life in Lisbon calmed my stormy soul and I focused on the voice of my heart. And the realization that I am trying to express with my works came to me, I present to you a series of works - Body language. drawn in a period of not easy, but incredibly eventful, life on the ocean.
Raum, Klang, Zeit / Wenn die Zeit stehenbleibt oder der Raum voller wird, dann verändert sich auch der Klang. Nichts ist endlich, so wie die Moves von Max Blax. Video, Musik und Text ist von mir.
I draw a dance of emotions, it can not be understood, you need to feel it. The second time I try to draw a wall on the street from the canvas, but this time there was a lot of excitement about the fact that it was an illegal painting in the day. The result pleased me, but I could have been much better. We do, we work!
My exhibition "Follow the instinct" and the performance "I draw a dance" was presented on June 9th in @lostcollectivelx Thanks to all who came and supported. Soon I will post video from the performance.
Farewell series - created between 2016 and 2017, before my departure from Russia. I realized that I would soon leave this place and created work with the feeling of some last expression of this place. My dull, strict, depressing, but hometown of Perm. Mixed technique, acrylic on canvases.
