The Story
Maxim’s original sculpture Splash – Skater Rebel stands at 13 x 28 inches and encapsulates the fearless energy that defines his visual language. The piece presents a faceted feline figure with a street-smart swagger, rendered in a riot of vivid colour splashes and metallic hues. Wearing a gold chain and clutching a gleaming golden skateboard, this anthropomorphic cat challenges convention, attitude radiating from its geometric form.
There’s a tension between playfulness and rebellion here, a nod to Maxim’s ongoing exploration of societal contrasts. The feline stance is both elegant and defiant – a street icon reimagined through a surrealist lens. Spray paint drips and bold textures layer the surface with movement, echoing the chaos and colour of urban life. The result is a character that could have leapt from a dream, or a dystopian alleyway – either way, it commands attention.
As one third of The Prodigy, Maxim has long been known for pushing creative boundaries. His art, like his music, is raw, honest and charged with meaning. Drawing influence from the surreal worlds of Dali and Bosch, he crafts pieces that confront as much as they comfort. Splash – Skater Rebel is a bold declaration of independence – and, ultimately, of hope.
