The Maddox gallery has announced its representation of Munich figurative painter Moritz Moll. Moll’s bright, flattened depictions of friends and family in oil and spray paint explore the transition from youth to adulthood.
“Molls’ distinctive portraits are uniquely found within our portfolio, with his vibrant, genre-fluid figures offering a more modernist approach to the genre,” said Fi Lovett, European Director of Maddox.
Artist’s debut solo exhibition with Maddox, featuring pop inspiration after skiing portraits, is titled “The Grand Finale” and premiered on February 12 in Gstaad, Switzerland. This exhibition follows his participation in ‘Summer Daze’ at the Maddox space in Westbourne Grove in the summer of 2023.
A 2021 graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (AdBK), Moll is influenced by a range of sources, from the colorism of Henri Matisse and the figuration of Alex Katz to the cinematic narratives of Wes Anderson and Wim Wenders.
