My name is Max Kulchinsky, and I am a 26-year-old artist based in New York City. I’m currently focused on painting, drawing, and DJ’ing.
After working in the music business for several years doing curation, A&R, and artist management, I left the industry at the end of 2021 to focus on my own visual art.
I began painting more, and curating several group exhibitions around the US, while exhibiting and selling my own artwork independently. My work has since reached advertisements on the streets of New York City, several private collections, and thousands of digital collectors.
These days, I am mostly painting abstracted crowds in vibrant, colorful scenes. With these, I’m recreating memories that have a less than exact sense of reality, maybe even dreamlike. For me, this is akin to the contemplation one might feel on either a dancefloor with friends or alone at night listening to records. Music is the most inspiring thing to me outside of visual art so incorporating movement and rhythm to my work is essential.
After hours, I DJ under the name of my first email address, musicdj102@aol.com. A hobby that began in high school naturally evolved into another creative practice. I began a monthly residency in Brooklyn in 2024, following gigs around NYC, and internationally in London and Mexico City.
