Contemporary British artist Max Davenport was born in 1990 and grew up in Preston, England.

After over a decade working in the video game industry as a digital concept artist, he transitioned into working with traditional media. Taking the skills developed from years of figure drawing and composition study, he seeks to explore themes of the male form and desire.

"Art has been with me throughout my life, from drawing insects and classmates at school, through to fantasy worlds in video games. It’s how I connect with the world and channel those feeling that run deep. And so it felt like a natural progression to begin exploring my own identity as a gay man in an artistic way."
