Max Makewell is an up and coming artist in New York City. He grew up on Long Island and was classically trained in art from a young age. Makewell started off sculpting, drawing on paper and using oil on canvas. More recently, Makewell started experimenting with ink on napkins. He would drip ink on napkins and fold them in half, which is what sparked his interest in the psychological Rorschach test. He began experimenting with acrylic colors on canvas and handmade paper; this lead to his most recent fine art series (featured in this video) the “Rorschach Series.”

Makewell started building his brand as an artist in December of 2015 and since then has shown his work in two SoHo galleries. February 11th marked the opening night at the Guy Hepner Gallery where Makewell was featured. This interview captures Makewell creating pieces and discussing his feeling about his upcoming pop-up show curated by MAD gallery on April 9th.
