About The Artwork
Originally created for and show at my solo show Crossing The Streams at Cave Gallery in 2016. Here is the show statement: 2015 was a year filled with big changes for me. Shortly after making the tough decision to move back to the town we grew up in after 15 years away, my wife and I discovered that we would also be having our first child. So, when asking myself what I would like to express in my fourth show at C.A.V.E. Gallery, naturally the new perspectives that fatherhood and a change of environment can bring came to mind. But once I started to work, I realized that there is an interesting elastic pull of my old self at play with the inevitable transformation that I am going through. Yes, dramatic shifts are afoot, but I can tell that I am still straddling both the old and the new. Fifteen years in LA has it’s lasting effects, and it is easy to feel these effects against the contrast of our new experiences. The wide open spaces and stillness of the desert of New Mexico bring into focus the energy and vibrancy of Los Angeles, and the sudden responsibility for the wellbeing of another human life certainly makes things interesting for someone who has thus far lived a life of fierce independence. I decided to celebrate and explore this temporary transitional period. Before I shed the high RPMs of LA all together, let’s see what happens when I apply brutal and sophisticated urban aesthetics to romanticized southwestern themes. Before I lose the innocence of being childless, let’s see what happens when I frame wild unpredictability with stoic stability. It is as if I am attempting to put my finger on the ever elusive “now” in the midst of the turbulent waters of change where the streams of what has been and what will be intersect. Let’s see what happens when we play here, in the crossing of the streams.

Max Neutra is best known for his ongoing bunny street art project. Conceived as whimsical idea created at a live painting event in Barcelona, he will tell you that the bunnies have since evolved into a study of space and motion, a meditation on achieving balance, and a pursuit of the perfect curve. Having spent years painting publicly at events across several countries, Max developed his own signature technique. Building up layers of acrylic paint as if it were watercotor, he creates images that have depth and motion seemingly contained within carefully honed borders. In his work, he often celebrates the aesthetically pleasing lines of industrial design, explores the evolution of music, and revels in the natural satisfaction of coming face to face with another species. Today, Max continues to foster a spirit of discovery while raising his daughter and creating art in Santa Fe, NM.
