Kevin Max began his career as a singer in 1989 by becoming the founding member of pop group dcTalk. In 1994, Max was published as a poet with the book ‘At The Foot Of Heaven.’ In 2001, he released his first solo album ‘Stereotype Be’ produced by Adrian Belew of King Crimson and David Bowie. Max has been touring internationally as a singer and musician up until 2023. In February of 2023, his early abstract painting’s were released in a book through Quoir Publishing titled ‘Alchemy At 55.’  Kevin paints mainly with acrylics and oil stick on canvas and his style has been described as ‘Abstract Expressionism meets Primitive pop.’  Max started painting with art therapy, but later realized he had an affinity for the visual arts that had developed over the years through experiences traveling abroad. His influences include Paul Klee, Matisse and Basquiat, although he paints within time constraints and likens the process to ‘visual punk rock.’ ‘I  like everything to form fast and without too much contextualizing, Art to me is immediate and mysterious.’ Max is 57 years old and lives in Arrington TN with his wife Amanda, 4 children and 2 cats.
