Machine Learning Painting

AX is an artist based in London. His creative roots stretch across continents — shaped by several years living in West Africa and the American Midwest, and deeply influenced by the vibrant energy of Hip Hop and Street Art. AX’s artistic journey ignited in early 2000s Chicago, particularly in the eclectic Wicker Park neighborhood. There, he showcased his work in local landmarks like the Flat Iron Arts Building and the Rainbo Club bar — his local bar that held personal meaning, known for its punk spirit, cheap beer, old pinball machine, and nightly visits from the legendary muffin lady (a slice of history few under 20 would recognize) His work reflects contemporary social and economic tension — captured through tones of weariness and quiet acceptance, then splashed in provocative color. AX primarily works in acrylic on cotton canvas, favoring the 120 × 90 cm format to strike bold visual statements.
