"Club Papiros; a fictional American club concept with branches in cities like Miami, Paris, Tokyo, Acapulco, and London. Known for its high cigar consumption and overpriced drinks. Its heyday in the 1980s overshadowed almost everything else in the same segment. Often frequented by celebrities and affluent individuals of that era. Unfortunately, the concept was discontinued in 1993 due to an internal scandal. Nevertheless, Club Papiros remains a monument in the nightlife industry and is still referenced to this day. Will we ever see anything as boundary-pushing and raw as this again? It's highly unlikely.»

Maximus Emrat Dørje (b. 2009) from Sarpsborg. Max lives in Sarpsborg and attends Grålum Ungdomskole. He frequents Soli Brug a lot and often draws inspiration from artists exhibiting there, especially perhaps from Pushwagner, Guttestreker, and Johan Reisang, but also from many travels around the world. He always carries his sketchbook with him. Maximus has created his own little universe centered around "Club Papiros," a fictional American club concept from the 1980s. Maximus works with pencil, pen, and ink, which then becomes digital prints (DGA), both in small and large formats. At the age of 14, he has already sold over 200 pieces, and he is determined to continue pursuing his art.
