Max Baccanello

Artist statement :

I aim to capture the mechanisms of human cultures within political economic classes and to define the differences between human nature and the constructs in society of the inner person.

I’m inspired by social constructs that govern our behavior and the environment that has been built around us. I’m inspired to capture the feelings of individuality of people within their social environments.
The old masters but also modern artists largely inspire my paintings. There is not one artist in particular that inspires me but hundreds. I take inspiration from so many different artists and the different theories I have read, such as that of colour theory and the harmonization of colour within a work to create emotion.
I like imagining myself as a viewer of my paintings, not the artist, in doing this, an artist can plan the painting like a path for the viewers eyes.

Maximillion Baccanello finished studying at Charles Cecil in 2010, where tuition was focused on academic portraiture in the lineage of traditional representational art and the sight size technique. Before then he attended Chelsea collage of fine art at the university of London. He now resides in his studio in Barons court where he is work focused on multiple figurative pieces and portrait commissions. He is currently working towards a solo exhibition at the end of the year at the box galleries on the Kings road, London.
