Emerging Amsterdam-based artist Max Schulze skillfully blurs the line between pleasure and destruction in captivating works. His art takes you on a journey through surreal experiences that transcend boundaries. From transforming birthday celebrations to malevolent dance rituals, his paintings delve into the complex interplay between pleasure and its destructive consequences.

With a collage-like approach, Schulze draws from an extensive archive of diverse photographs. Ancient Greek busts, chance encounters, Studio 54, and haunting war images fuel his exploration of the innate human desire to escape reality and its perilous allure.
