Max Ballard is a painter, muralist, illustrator and designer living and working in Adelaide 🎨
This exhibition ‘Bean Bag’ offers a brief snapshot of Max’s development as an emerging artist over the past four years. A combination of older and newer works demonstrate his exploration of painting techniques, mediums and compositions.
Max’s work explores the way in which we perceive everyday spaces, and how these perceptions are impacted by familiarity, memory and nostalgia.
“I have a personal connection to each of these scenes,” Max says, “but I like to leave them free of inhabitants to allow the viewer to form their own narrative based on what is depicted in the paintings, with some clues in their titles…”
‘Beanbag’ is currently on display in the Orange Heart Gallery 🧡 (Level 1, Samuel Way walkway, WCH).

Redeveloping the playground at the Women`s and Children`s Hospital is about so much more than equipment.
It`s about creating a space that gives children in hospital the freedom to play, to feel safe, and to experience joy, even in the middle of medical treatment.
Your gift, no matter how big or small, will help give children like Jack a space to be a child again.
