Transdimensional Artist · Painter · Crypto Art Pioneer
Acrylic visions pulled from the hyperdimensional — translating inner cosmologies onto large-format canvas since 2016 and the Ethereum blockchain since 2018.
Max Osiris is a transdimensional artist — a painter whose large-format acrylics serve as portals between the material world and the geometries of altered and visionary states. His canvases are dense with fractal light, alchemical symbology, and psychedelic architecture drawn directly from dreams and expanded consciousness.
He was among the first wave of artists to mint 1-of-1 fine-art paintings as NFTs on SuperRare in 2018, becoming a foundational figure in what became known as the crypto art movement. His work bridges the physical and digital without privileging either: the canvas and the token are equally the work.
Philosophically, his practice draws from alchemy, Jungian depth, ethnobotany, and what he calls the "hyperdimensional past" — a collective unconscious encoded in geometry and light. Paintings like 5D Temple, Machinations of a Fragmented Soul, and the Ascention series are less artworks than documents of inner cartography.
He has exhibited in 14 cities across 9 countries — from a solo show in Brooklyn in 2016 to Sotheby's New York in 2023 — and has performed live at Art Basel Miami. He was twice the subject of artist reinstatement debates on the SuperRare DAO, a testament to both the institutional tensions of the space and the singular position his practice occupies within it.
Acrylic on Canvas
Large-format, typically 30″×40″ to 81″×54″. Built in dense luminous layers. Every canvas exists as a singular physical object — made once, owned once.
Ethereum Blockchain
Minted as 1-of-1 ERC-721 tokens on SuperRare and OpenSea since 2018. The token is not a reproduction — it is a parallel instantiation of the work with its own provenance and trajectory.
Performance & Installation
Live performance work including Dirty Beeps (Gonzo) at Art Basel Miami 2025. The gallery, the chain, and the stage are equally valid contexts.
Alchemy
The philosopher's Stone as metaphor — suffering into transcendence, base matter into gold. Encoded throughout the Ascention series.
Ethnobotany
Plant medicine, visionary states, and the biochemistry of consciousness as both subject matter and creative method.
Jungian Depth
The collective unconscious, archetypes, and the pineal gland as "principal seat of the soul" — referenced directly in Ascention: The Seed.
Cyberculture
Early internet, cargo cult radio, surveillance, the petrodollar — modernity's contradictions as paintable data, catalogued in Sananga & Steak.
The gift of seeing long before creating — that's what painting is. A transmission from somewhere else, fixed in acrylic.
Max Osiris · Long Vision, 2025
Large-format acrylic on canvas — built in dense, luminous layers over days or weeks. Light is simultaneously the subject and the material. Forms arrive whole before the brush moves. Each canvas is a singular physical object: made once, owned once, framed or unframed, never reproduced as prints.
5D Temple (2019) · 77″×55″
Macrocosm (2022) · 81″×54″
Machinations of a Fragmented Soul (2024) · 36″×48″
Sananga & Steak (2023) · 36″×48″
Long Vision (2025) · 24″×48″
Every significant painting is minted as a 1-of-1 NFT on Ethereum — primarily through SuperRare. The token is not a JPEG of the painting. It is a parallel instantiation of the work with its own provenance, collector history, and trajectory through time. Physical and digital ownership may diverge. Both are real.
First mint: 2018 on SuperRare
Primary platform: SuperRare
Secondary: OpenSea
Standard: ERC-721 · Ethereum Mainnet
Collector base: international
From a solo show in Brooklyn in 2016 to Sotheby's New York in 2023, the work has moved through galleries, institutions, festivals, and chains. Max also performs: Dirty Beeps (Gonzo) at Art Basel Miami 2025 was a live performance work. The gallery and the blockchain are equally valid stages.

Permanence
Canvas and blockchain as twin records — physical pigment and cryptographic proof as equals
Light
Both medium and message — every painting is ultimately a study in how luminosity structures inner space
On-Chain
The blockchain is another kind of permanence — immutable, distributed, ungoverned by gallery systems
