Maxwell Rushton
Intertwining performance, painting, drawing and sculpture, Maxwell’s portfolio explores cultural phenomena and his own human condition. In his work Brand New Me, Maxwell explores society’s growing relationship with marketing by painting 20 pints of his own blood into an epic-scale replica of his logo, turning twice the volume of blood he has in his body into a piece of advertising. From this to his project Drawn Out, in which he filled four 10 meter rolls of paper with approximately 10 million hand-drawn lines over the duration of a year whilst he lived in isolation, to viral footage of Maxwell’s sculpture Left Out, which has so far been viewed over 40 million times, his “thought-provoking works” (Huffington Post) are “causing a stir throughout the international art scene” (Lodown Magazine).
