life - Max Beyme

Made in the United States, born in Wiesbaden raised in Tübingen and Heidelberg. First documented paintings at the age of two in the manner of abstract expressionism. Since this time I got hooked on the medium painting with the ambition to become another big german art Max - after Slevogt, Beckmann and Ernst. As this intention didn't fully work out so far, I am working as a freelance journalist for several TV networks in Berlin since the early 90s to make a living. My journalistic work plays into my art, where my paintings reflect the narrative strategies of modern media. I scan digital media for forgotten images and stories before reprocessing them in the old fashioned analog medium of painting on canvas.
