MACA (Acri Contemporary Art Museum) , host a collection of about sixty works by Maestro Max Marra (Paola, 1950, living and working in Lissone), a great experimenter devoted to the constant search for an art capable of surpassing the barriers between the various representative media.
The incessant search for original materials and expressive forms, with a marked avant-garde charm, is attested by the heterogeneity of the exhibited works, ranging from the purest and most abstract painting, to sculptures made of multi-material assemblage, sculptures that arise from scraps and found objects and through the metamorphosis of art they give new vitality and meaning. His work bears the influence on Georges Noel and Salvatore Scarpitta as well as Pol Bury, Brutalist and kinetic op art. His works appear in prestigious public collections and museums such as, among others, the Cooperative Credit Bank of Carate Brianza, Lecco headquarters, the Civic Gallery of Modern Art of Gallarate, the Contemporary Art Museum of Lissone, the Michetti Museum Contemporary Art of Francavilla al Mare, the Duta Museum of Arts Jakarta, in Indonesia and the Museum of Arts Guangzhou, in China. In 2017 he was awarded the "Certiluxe Award" for Art, a prestigious international recognition for his artistic career and for his research always focused on quality and innovation. He is currently preparing two very important public personal shows: in the spring of 2018 he will show in Sofia Bulgaria in the seat of the National Academy of Fine Arts which boasts among others the artistic formation of Christo his exhibition "Homage to Rembrandt" while at the end of 2018 the Museum Marca di Catanzaro will host one of his majestic anthologies, a tribute to his land from one of the most important Italian museums.
