MAX THE VIRUS

Max The Virus is a creative project initiated by London-based artist Marc Craig in 2021, aiming to transform the negative connotations associated with viruses during the pandemic into a symbol of creativity and resilience. Inspired by AI-generated imagery, Craig developed a unique virus character, which he refined into the vibrant persona known as Max The Virus. 


As the Artist in Residence at Leake Street Arches beneath Waterloo Station, Craig utilizes this dynamic urban canvas to experiment with Max The Virus, creating murals that interact with the ever-changing environment. This residency has fostered significant breakthroughs and community engagement, enriching both the character’s evolution and the local art scene. 


Beyond physical murals, Max The Virus ventures into the digital realm, reimagining iconic artworks through contemporary lenses. This fusion of traditional and modern techniques allows Craig to explore a broader range of artistic possibilities, bridging past and present creative expressions. 


Through Max The Virus, Marc Craig encapsulates a journey of artistic innovation, community connection, and the transformative power of art in redefining narratives.
