Works Maxim Basheva can be viewed as a form neodadaistkoy practice. His inspired by Basquiat, Keith Haring and the whole underground culture of protest, which they embody. In this culture reflects the aesthetic terror to society, which wants to sleep and to dream, wants a quiet routine, and not disturbing images reminiscent of the real problems. Such energy translates and Bashev in their works. His paintings are drawn to New York 1980, to protest the underground interventions in unconventional spaces for art.

occupation Today Wall Street seems to capture the continuation of the artistic Soho. This brutal art practice, not distinguishing between the wall and canvas, destroying any genre boundaries, and has managed to win back his place in eternity, before she was captured by the market and fashion critique.

Moments ethnic plastics Maxim Basheva as well as in New York or London of the 1980s, as in other urban subcultures, combine modernity with history and mythology. Bashev includes historical images contemporary contexts and rewrite the mythology of the codes of contemporary visual expression. Time is experienced as a historical singularity, as the unity of different eras. This time the experience of mobilizing European identity and make a modern neo-expressionism and transnational artistic language that speaks Maxim Bashev.

Bashev fascinated Bacon. gloomy charisma manifested in Basheva Bacon in a way to compose the picture: this type of composition, which is totally unrelated to the picture. This picture - documentation bodily experience of the artist. Gilles Deleuze considered the work of Bacon as freedom from functional structures and cognition - the freedom through which ecstasy is the practice of painting. Such arguments are applicable to the artist for whom negativity acts something like a theology or ideology. This line is the negative legacy of the avant-garde and the momentum is clearly seen at Maxim Basheva. In his case, one may also speak the continuity of ideas, development of which is associated with the names of Dubuffet, Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and the British pop art.
