Born 1987 in Heidelberg, lives and works in Berlin.

Maximilian Arnold graduated from Universität der Künste, Berlin (Prof. Christine Streuli) in 2017. Arnold takes a conceptual approach to his medium, producing compositions through which he explores the history and possibilities of painting. Arnold mainly works at a large scale, he utilizes stretched, stained, and collaged polyester, digital prints, enamel, spray paint, and other nontraditional materials to create compositions that appear painterly—even though he may never use a brush to make them. Through such works, Arnold effectively demonstrates that paintings may be much more than pigment applied to canvas.


His recent solo and two-person shows include “A Deep Scrub”, DUVE Berlin, Germany (2017), “Zona Maco” (with Iris Touliatou), Mexico City, Mexico (2017), “Aware of Being Naïve” (with Martin Kähler), Basis Showroom, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (2016). His recent group shows include a group show in Galerie Tobias Naehring, Leipzig, Germany (2017), “Painting Or Not”, Kaviar Factory, Henningsvær, Norway (2017), “Pressing Your Face In Wet Grass”, Private Offspace, Frankfurt, Germany (2017), “Tutti Meno Un Etto”, Im Hinterzimmer Showroom, Karlsruhe, Germany (2017).
