LOS ANGELES (April 21, 2012) ---Rising Soul is the latest series of paintings by Los Angeles artist Norm Maxwell. The large monochromatic oils glow neon red, depicting dramatic scenes where the subjects seem to be captives of a turbulent dream world. Maxwell's social commentary draws inspiration from American patriotic works like, "Washington Crossing the Delaware" and "The Spirit of 76," to reinterpret current topics concerning American Society. Maxwell will unveil the rising soul series Saturday, April 21st at the Norm Maxwell Gallery, located in the Fairfax District.
Norm Maxwell is a native of Philadelphia, where he began his career as a young graffiti artist in 1979. During his studies at the Hussian School of Art, Maxwell merged urban street art with classical aesthetics. This evolved kaleidoscope of hues, textures and urban iconography have since taken on social issues with spiritual and religious undertones.
The Norm Maxwell Studio Gallery was founded in Los Angeles in 2007. Located in the Fairfax District, it has grown into a renowned workspace that draws collectors from around the world, while allowing Maxwell to exhibit worldwide.
