Max Maddox is an interdisciplinary artist whose work ranges from public performance to abstract painting, a compass he has used to approach subjects such as class struggle, public hysteria, marginalization, and phenomenology. Maddox received a B.A. in Philosophy from Grinnell College, a discipline he integrates with his training at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art to pursue cultural critique through art.
Maddox is an award winning artist and writer. He was a 2023 recipient of the Greene Fellowship, an individual artist grant in Denver. He is a career advocate and developed two arts and mental health programs, ArrayParity and Troupe Therapy. He co-authored the memoir Walks on the Margins, and he has exhibited his work in galleries that include Leon Gallery, the Redline Contemporary Art Center (Denver), where he was resident artist from 2020-2022, The Art Gym (Denver), Hillyer Art Space (Washington D.C), Locallective (Chicago), the Slought Foundation (Philadelphia), the Print Center of Philadelphia, The Ellen Powell Tiberino Memorial Museum (Philadelphia), and Abecedarian Gallery (Denver).
