Max Gleason’s painting “Golden Haze and Paradise Bird” was one of dozens of artworks displayed on digital billboards throughout the city. The exhibition was organized by Cube Art Fair and runs from October 6-12,2021
Max Gleason creates his figures, landscapes, and abstracted forms in mixed media combinations that often include oil, enamel, graphite, paint pen, and intricate collage elements. With a background in sculpture, film, and painting, Gleason has maintained studios in various locations around New York City and Los Angeles while focusing on painting. He now works out of a large studio perched on the precipice of a ravine in California’s Santa Ynez Valley.
