Max Osiris: Digital Shaman

For over a year, I have collected Max Osiris’ digital art on ethereum (“cryptoart”). His style has been described as “neo surrealism, transdimensional pop, and psychedelic / visionary.” Max is a modern-day digital shaman who relays visual transmissions from another astral plane. This article presents a compilation of his work.

The Black & Whites

Before cryptoart, pre-2018, Max created a number of magical black & white physical artworks, such as “Transhuman” (left, below). These evolved into early black & white digital works that are as magnificent as they are fanciful.

The Dimensional Works

Max has developed into a master of dimensionality. Early black & whites, such as “Staring Back at You” (left, below), show this trend toward exploring a third dimension. Later works incorporate color, while continuing to play with adding (middle) or removing (right) the third dimension.
