Max Dalglish New York’s Son: The Builder of Broken Things
Born where the sidewalks cracked and punk music shook the windows, Max Dalglish turns survival into sculpture and soul into color.
Forged in the crumbling streets of 1980s Bowery, tempered by physical battles and personal loss, Max’s work resurrects the forgotten — transforming salvaged materials, science driven reactions, and raw pigments into monuments of resilience.
Yet Max’s greatest reason to endure is the love of his daughter. A craftsman of feeling and form, he scavenges history, heartbreak, and the streets of nyc to create art that is fiercely, unapologetically human.
From broken street trash to museum dreams, every piece carries the imprint of a life rebuilt by love, loss, and sheer stubborn hope. For Max, it’s about persistence. His work invites viewers to see resilience not as a scar, but as a signature — a living testament that creation isn’t about perfection. Time waits for no man, but for Max, time has been waiting long enough.
