INSPIRATION INTERVIEW #85: MAX HERTZ
COMING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9th
For Max Hertz his process is his art. He is a sculptor investigating and formulating a visual language through the making of things. It begins with drawing several iterations of a conceived form, imagining it from all angles. Then with 3-D modeling software, a jigsaw, and an assembly process reminiscent of play with childhood toys, the conceived form becomes a work of art with presence and permanence as if it always existed. The work is beautiful, humorous, and peaceful all at once. Though only 26, Max’s work possesses the confidence and clarity of an artistic career in full bloom.
