Max Epstein

is a multidisciplinary artist. At the age of 16, he immigrated to Israel from Russia in 1990 and has lived and worked in Jerusalem ever since.

He graduated from Bezalel Academy (BA) and received a Master of Arts (MFA) from the University of Haifa. Max presented 23 solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions in Israel and around the world. Among them are exhibitions at the Wilfrid Israel Museum, the Bat Yam Museum, the Russian Ethnography Museum (St. Petersburg), the Israel Museum (Tycho House). He builds total installations that are site-specific and include various visual art media — such as, photography, drawing, sculpture, animation, and sound. Max has curated 19 exhibitions and initiated artistic projects in the Jerusalem area and abroad. Among them, there was an artistic-community project dealing with education and animation using an innovative method. Specifically, the project is an animation studio for children and youth called "Wild Kids". This animation studio has been around for 15 years and has become a second home for more than 400 Jerusalem children. Max has served as an active teacher in this studio from its inception. Epstein received the Mordechai Ish-Shalom Prize for a special contribution to art, and the Minister of Aliyah and Integration’s Yuri Stern Prize To Oleh Artists for his sculpture work. 

Since 2024, Max Epstein has been the founder and artistic director of Wild Gallery in Jerusalem.
