  • Catalogue Essay

    Maxim Kantor shows to us the mass of those standing under the orders of Big Brother, repeating a standardized model of eternity. Maxim Kantor violently forms matter which essentially consists of loneliness. His time and space neutralize chance but open the fantastic in human nature. This is the work of Maxim Kantor who shows freedom with power and violence of his paintings. (Fernando Arrabal, Maxin Kantor New Empire, Felix-Nussbaum-Haus Osnabruck, 2005, p. 114)
