Max Frintrop's 'Mad Max' Solo Exhibition at A+B Gallery Brescia

A+B Gallery in Brescia presents 'Mad Max', the third solo exhibition of German artist Max Frintrop (born 1982 in Oberhausen) since the gallery's founding in 2011. Frintrop, a former student of Albert Oehlen at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, develops his mentor's teachings into a personal approach to painting and abstraction through continuous experimentation. The exhibition title plays on the artist's name and the action film franchise. Large canvases explode with iridescent color, balancing between order and chaos. Structuralist elements emerge in grid details and recurring forms that interact with the gallery space, including sinuous shapes echoing a frescoed frieze. The show also features twelve works on paper that reveal Frintrop's creative process, where he tests color and paint behavior before working on canvas. His practice shows affinity with American action painting, embracing chance as a deliberate choice. The exhibition runs at A+B Gallery in Brescia.
