About Max

One of the UK’s most promising artists.

Since his first sell-out, solo exhibition The Heart of London, in Kensington, in summer 2019, Max’s work has gone from strength to strength, attracting new patrons and noteworthy commissions.  In the run-up to his solo show, he was the first artist in 30 years to gain access to paint the iconic exterior of 10 Downing Street. Further access to rarely seen interiors followed with commissions to paint scenes from the inside of 5 Hertford Street and Oswald’s on the back of the owner, Robin Birley’s welcome patronage.

Following his exhibition, Max was invited to join Team GB as their Artist in Residence for the 2020 Olympics. His fingers are crossed for Tokyo 2021. In preparation for this assignment, he is currently painting sportspeople including the world champion boxer, Anthony Joshua, in his gym during his training camp. Max is the first artist to be granted ringside access to the great man.

In addition to painting our sporting heroes, Max has carved out time to paint a series of portraits of our new heroes; frontline workers,  including the two critical care nurses who were singled out by the prime Minister for saving his life. The portraits which were painted from life are currently displayed in Number 10 next to the Prime Minister’s office.

This summer Max was cited top of the list in Tatler magazine’s “Young artists beloved by the social set and names to know”.
