Max Fletcher (1990, UK) is an artist currently based in Rotterdam. His work is rooted in the space between literary form and political representation. Literature, social history and archival documents provide source material from which we can analyze the past to make sense of the present. The formal idiosyncrasies of untranslated texts, children's stories, forgotten plays and footnotes have all provided the generative basis for recent work. Max studied at Central Saint Martins, Beaux-Arts de Paris and at The Ohio State University, where he was a Teaching Fellow. From 2019-2021 he was an artist in residence at the British School at Rome. Recent exhibitions include The Independent at MAXXI Museum of Art (Rome, IT), John Moores Painting Prize at The Walker Art Gallery (Liverpool, UK), Fuori le Mura at Lido di Ostia (Ostia IT), Mostra at The British School at Rome (Rome, IT) and Happy Days with Apsara Studios (London, UK).
