MAX PATTÉ

British-born Max Patté is a multi-media contemporary artist.

He studied at the Wimbledon School of Art in London (1997-2000) and was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 2008.

Since opening his studio in 2014, Max has immersed himself in an exploration of the elemental nature of light, space and colour. To date this exploration spans sculpture, painting and light art. He cites advances in modern technologies as a constant source of inspiration and uses an impressive array in his day-to-day operations.

Max’s work can be found in galleries in Palma Mallorca, London, Miami, Queenstown and Sydney.
