After working as a writer and director for theatre, TV and cinema, Max Papeschi turned his attention to digital-art. Since then, no political or cultural figure has been spared his scathing wit, whether it be Kermit the Frog, Josef Stalin, Mickey Mouse, Adolf Hitler or Hello Kitty. Papeschi has had numerous exhibitions all over the world.

Flavia Vago has written of Max Papeschi’s work on view at KB17: “In 2016 Max Papeschi realized his work IT’S ALL DEVO in digital animation technique for his friend and collector, Gerald Casale. Casale is a member of DEVO, a revolutionary American band that is a symbol of New Wave...Casale asked Papeschi to make a music video, which he did, in collaboration with Maurizio Temporin…[in it] a dystopian reality is presented; a mass of horrific characters who represent the most disturbing aspects of our contemporary age.”
