LONDON, 13 September 2022 – Musician and mixed media artist Maxim has announced a solo exhibition at Miart Gallery London. Fresh from a sell-out UK tour, Maxim, The Prodigy front man and talented fine artist, is mounting a retrospective of his art at Miart Gallery in Mayfair. The exhibition titled ‘Infinite Drama’ will run from 13th October to 7th November, during Frieze Week in London, and will take over two floors of Miart Gallery London, formerly a bank in Mayfair.

The exhibition is titled ‘Infinite Drama’, an appropriate description for the dramatic, powerful artworks, which draw on elements of the human psyche and dramatic world events
such as troubling social issues, police brutality and war. Maxim’s artworks all possess an element of drama combined with a hint of Pop Art - which is fitting for a member of a game-changing rock band who emerged on the dance music scene in the 1990s before becoming part of popular culture - who is known for his high-energy performances and explosive stage presence.
Miar Gallery Founder and Owner F. Irem Deniz commented: “Miart Gallery’s curatorial approach is informed by an awareness of historial and contemporary narratives and a dedication to shaping the contemporary art canon through presenting diverse and eclectic collections. We are delighted to host Maxim’s bold compositions that play with surrealism, dark humour and the complexity of an ever-changing modern society.“
Maxim’s ‘Infinite Drama’ solo exhibition will feature paintings and sculptures fusing influences of Afrofuturism and abstraction with hints of Pop Art and Surrealism. The result is a powerful body of work that comments on the darker side of humanity. The anti-police brutality riots in the US sowed the seed for Maxim’s sculpture ‘Balaclava Ballerina’ which is featured in the exhibition.
