Maximillian Brown redirects the focus of his paintings from the end product, muddying the lines between the process and the result. Most importantly, the works are located in the same space and reality as the viewer and the viewer's body.
"The peaks and crevasses of perspective, so high and so low, sometimes seeming so far out of reach, sometimes approaching at such haste that one cannot comprehend the fall or rise. With each drop of sweat, each callus, each scar, each damaged limb taken throughout which has yet to heal, the depths and heights seem no smaller. As we attempt to navigate this landscape, we may find ourselves growing more comfortable with our techniques, steps and navigation, taking the ever lasting journey through the rugged terrain as if to find the final height, yet this height is not ours to choose" - Maximillian Brown, 2022
