Max Callaghan

Max Callaghan is a visual artist from Adelaide. Within his practice he uses processes of painting and writing to examine individual memory and internalised experience. His work interconnects, and juxtaposes formative and everyday memories, feelings and recollections, ruminating upon their personal importance and social meaning. He takes subjects like self-talk, childhood and family memories, suburban social surroundings, experience of mental illness and institutional treatment and the fear of taking without giving back and turns them into contemplative mosaic like paintings.
