About Maximillian Wiedemann

Maximillian Wiedemann has given "Urban Art" a whole new definition  - instead of spraying walls in the dark and hiding from cops, Maximillian is commissioned by some of the most exclusive brands to display his art in the hottest addresses in the world. He sees himself as a ' camera lens for celebrities' and documents the habitat that surrounds us in the 21st century much as a 19th Century painter would do, but using spray cans , neon screenprint and installations instead of oils. His work has a complex body  is highly influenced byfashion, photography and celebrity, Prada and Vogue are his main influences alongside Warhol , Richard Prince and Basquiat. 

Karl Lagerfeld introduced Max to the Editor of French Vogue Karin Roitfeld at a restaurant in Paris, when Karl Lagerfeld bought a painting, thrusting Maximillian into the art spotlight. Many other celebrities such as Caprice , Kelly Brook, Tamara Ecclestone, Kelly Osbourne, Lindsey Lohan and Tamara Mellon the Founder of Jimmy Choo are fans and fond collectors. Corporate clients include BMW, TOPSHOP ,Coca Cola, 

Maximilian is constantly evolving with new materials such as neon, found item sculpture, photography and film. What remains constant is his razor sharp wit and incisive humour – always pointed at the vanities of the rich and beautiful, but only enough to keep them on their toes, for Wiedemann himself inhabits this world that he documents.
