Max Erhman with Chor Boogie:
Max Ehrman was first slapped in the face by this obsessive art form called aerosol art in 1995. One day two international graffiti artists painted a wall and their concept and technique sparked a fire in Max. The next day he bought a few cans of paint, went to the wall, and has not stopped painting ever since.
Max currently goes by Eon75. Eon meaning Extermination of Normality and the 75 denoting the year that he was born. This name has taken him to over 10 countries and 3 continents. He has painted large-scale productions and traveled with the Meeting of Styles throughout Europe (www.meetingofstyles.com). Eon75 has exhibited in galleries from Berlin, Amsterdam and Barcelona to Florida, NYC and San Francisco.
Max holds a Masters of Architecture from the Bauhaus (Dessau institute of Architecture) in Dessau, Germany. The rigid constraints of architecture developed his eye for detail. Having grown up on the beach in Florida, nature is an underlying element in all of his work. The elements of the ocean and plant life can be found in his paintings. Consequently, there is always a repetition of 3 in every painting. This is used to balance out the image and connect with nature. Leaves and shells are always structured in odd numbers…3's, 5's etc. This pattern can also be found in Eon75's artwork.
