Characteristics that stay stubbornly present as we age and those that are discarded, substance and its
absence, are tied to our identity and yet not necessarily to each other. This is something Max Rippon ap-
proaches from both conceptual and formal stances in the exhibition “Next in Line.” His latest works seem to
deal with the process of maturity.
Gone is the street pseudonym he carried for over a decade. It was a decade that begun with disillusionment
and idealistic romance. Upon finishing his studies, the artist moved to Europe and became part of the
flourishing street art scene. He brought with him his background in printmaking, painting, calligraphy and
a deep-rooted sense of social concerns. During this period his work moved from projecting messages to
questioning how messages are received, from making signs, to exploring the sign language of physical and
digital public space. His focus became the city as storyteller, an ever-growing organism manifested by a
multiplicity of diverse visual languages in the flux of time and space. As a painter, Rippon is aware of the
misinformation, misinterpretations and conscious attempts to confuse or manipulate our perceptions of
reality as well as the nuanced way all of this shapes our lives.
In 2009, the work “10 Days” represented a shift in his practice when he painted BBC headlines from 10
consecutive days on top of each other, taping off and protecting slivers of each before the next rendered
it out of sight. It was a work that dealt with the increasing speed of information and how it’s processed via
collective memory. When the painting was complete, none of the headlines were visible and a fragmented
narrative in the form of calculated abstraction remained. Works in this exhibition build on that project. In
the painting, “R: RE: Call Me,” Rippon moves from message to media. Headlines are replaced with traces of
intimate communication and memories, with questions geared towards personal identity and self-reflection
instead of political events and civil concerns. As research for this painting he combed through his email
archive looking for the phrase “Call me” to reflect on what circumstances meant that an email or an SMS
wasn’t enough. When is a voice required?

The tape that gets stained and removed from works like this, becomes the material for new works in the
“Involved with Origins” series, where stretcher bars support only the void as their function is transformed
to that of almost ornamental objects decorated with waste, or new forms in their own right like in the series
of works titled “Refuse Repurposed”.
This “reusing” of material continues the act of material narration started in the completed process, which
creates a fluent discourse on mechanical forgetfulness. It has no more bearing to its prior signification.
It becomes flesh instead of filter. Conceptually, this is an approach that mirrors how memory can fade and
even vanish in patterns over extended periods of times or through traumatic events. At the same time, it
places a real “red thread” through over a decade of Rippon’s work by binding personal understanding and
perceptions of reality to universal phenomena. Separated pieces of previous labor represent autonomous
bodies and a unified being simultaneously. Tape on tape, layer to layer - the world becomes more bizarrely
intertwined through the multiplicity of messages flying off the walls, screens and bodies. What will stay and
what will be forgotten? What’s left between the bars?
In a pair of paintings he calls a “separated diptych,” this rather formalist play is filtered into family affairs
and his role as a twin brother. It’s lighter, playful and unmistakably sentimental as Rippon continues his
conversation about words, sentences, ideas, objects and people living apart together, in the most personal
type of vernacular.
