MAX PANKS

Graduating from London College of Music in 2013, Max Panks, artist and actor, has been painting exclusively with watercolour for the last 8 years, developing a style characterised by movement and speed aiming to tell a story with as few brush marks as possible. In 2021, he appeared on Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year as a winning wildcard contestant, and has since worked in collaboration with Cass Art, leading tutorials and workshops in store. In recent months, Max has expanded his artistic reach into the whisky world. His work has been commissioned and featured commercially by Fragrant Drops, an independent bottler, as well as by Ardray Whisky, a blender.

Max’s dual career as an actor has taken him (and his palette) all over the world, affording him the unique opportunity to immerse himself in a myriad of cultures and settings, providing him with an ocean of subjects to draw upon, and having worked in London’s West End, touring shows, as well as performing on cruise ships in Europe and the Americas, the stark differences captured in his work is brought to light.
