Maximum Madness: Art Inspired by Mad Max

Bringing together a range of artists paying homage to their favourite post-apocalyptic (anti)hero, it’s time for Maximum Madness. George Miller’s genre-defining Mad Max film series has grown from a tense, low-budget Ozsploitation cult hit into a sprawling post apocalypse action opera, redefining science fiction along the way.

With its grab bag aesthetics, subversive politics and lustful, irreverent approach to Australian hoon culture, Mad Max has remained a cultural touchstone, and a highly influential convergence of tropes, images and iconoclasm, ideal inspiration for visual artists.
