Max Kreangkri Kimsawat

Kreangkri Kimsawat, known artistically as MAX, is a vibrant figure in the Thai art scene, blending his passions for music, film, skating, and street fashion into his creative expression. Originally the owner of a bar called "Method to my Madness" in the Lad Prao district, MAX's journey into art took an unexpected turn during the COVID-19 pandemic when his bar closed. With time on his hands, he embraced his love for skateboarding but faced a setback when a fall resulted in a broken leg. During his recovery, he found solace in drawing, which eventually led to his participation in an exhibition invited by a senior peer, Nev3r. This exposure marked a pivotal moment in MAX's career, as he began to gain recognition as an artist.

MAX’s creative process is deeply rooted in his personal experiences and observations from everyday life. He draws inspiration from what surrounds him and channels emotions that resonate with him into his artwork. MAX believes in showcasing his unique perspective and experiences through his pieces. Each creation reflects his own stories and feelings, as he strives to incorporate his individual viewpoint while engaging with broader themes that are relatable to others.

The materials MAX chooses to work with are reflective of his childhood love for drawing and storytelling through comics. He enjoys the tactile experience of paper, which evokes a sense of nostalgia and fun. His artistic toolkit often includes a mix of various mediums, such as acrylics and markers, allowing him to experiment and create vibrant works that capture his artistic essence. By remaining true to his stylistic preferences, MAX creates pieces that not only represent his artistic identity but also invite viewers into a joyful realm reminiscent of childhood creativity.

MAX is enthusiastic about sharing his art with the world and hopes to offer viewers both enjoyment and thought-provoking messages through his work. He desires that each piece resonates differently with each person, encouraging them to engage with the underlying narratives that he presents.
