MAX ALM-NORELL is known for his colourful, quadratic paintings. He has a background as an advertising and fashion photographer for more than twenty years and in his art he also uses photography as part of his medium. In his artwork he combines several photographs in the same image and develops them by adding acrylic paint and many other types of material.
In Max’s picture are hidden stories which are mirrored only in the eyes of the observer and through every gaze a new window is opened. Max’s artwork may be colourful and full of life but invite the viewer to pause and carefully observe, for their depth will be lost at a hasty glance. In this exhibition he uses photography as his only medium. But there are still layers of stories. Can you read them?
