Max Xeno Karnig (b. 1990 in New York, New York, lives and works between Los Angeles and Berkeley, California). Karnig received a BA in both art history and studio art from the University of California, San Diego and an MFA from the University of California, Irvine.
With all the art history he conjures into these small panels, Max’s paintings have a contemporary vitality which brings them into the present.
Like the old masters he reveres, Max Xeno Karnig’s paintings subtly mutate, but often return to same subjects.
