Artwork Description

Painting from my popular Puppets series. Acrylics on canvas .
Description:
The canvas unveils a surreal landscape—a world where reality and imagination intertwine.
At its heart stands a figure.The figure walks purposefully, leash in hand, accompanied by a small dog. But this is no ordinary stroll.
Behind them, on a wheeled platform, an oversized puppet-like dog emerges. Its rigid form suggests wood or forgotten memories.
The sky above—soft clouds against a gradient of orange and red—hints at a day’s end or perhaps a journey’s twilight.
Horst’s brush strokes blend precision and whimsy, leaving room for interpretation.
The muted palette—earth tones and faded blues—creates a dreamlike atmosphere.

I am full-time contemporary Australian painter having completed a Master Degree at the European Academy of Arts in 1997. I generally paint under the name "Max Horst". Exploring the nature of people and the relationships between them, my paintings are very often short stories of small,daily moments of life. I distill these relationships through simplified forms and shapes, developing my own code of symbols - a code which is constantly changing and developing over time.In my quest for simplicity and honesty I draw much of my inspiration from cave paintings and naive art, “because I find them very honest as a form of art”.Using oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, I may mix them with drawing techniques. Natural pigments of earth colors are the base of my palette. With an intuitive preoccupation with color, form and line my work belies a carefully considered composition and an appreciation of the nature of human interaction.
