Max Kion

Max Kion is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist known for blending traditional painting techniques with digital media to explore themes of identity, memory, and technology. Born in 1987 in Prague, Kion studied visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown before refining his style during residencies in Berlin and Tokyo. His work, which spans large-scale canvases, experimental installations, and interactive digital pieces, frequently juxtaposes the raw textures of oil and acrylics with glitch-inspired, algorithmic patterns, prompting viewers to reflect on the impact of digital culture on personal and collective narratives.

Kion’s pieces have been exhibited in solo and group shows across Europe, Asia, and North America, including notable exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. In addition to his artistic practice, Kion often collaborates with musicians and technologists, creating immersive audio-visual experiences and public art interventions. His innovative approach and thought-provoking visuals have earned him several international awards, and his work continues to challenge boundaries between mediums and disciplines.
