Matthew Braunginn: Perceptual Arrangements and Beat Loops

Arts + Literature Laboratory presents Perceptual Arrangements and Beat Loops, an exhibition by Matthew Braunginn, on display from Tuesday, November 19 through Saturday, December 21, 2024. 

Exhibition statement:
The pieces in Perceptual Arrangements and Beat Loops are jazz and hip-hop-like creations, both within and outside of a set form and function. They communicate the creator's perception of sound, emotion, and experiences while creating new meaning for those observing and experiencing them in their own arrangement. Each new experience can reflect a new mixture of hard edges, blends, shades and depth of color, morphing to fit the observer, like a rhythm or beat loop can bring new feelings, emotions, and internal reflections to the surface. 

An opening reception for current exhibitions by Jessica M. Gutiérrez, Issis Macias, Nastia Craig, Matthew Braungin, and Karen Laudon, will be held on Friday, November 22, from 5:30pm to 8:00pm.

Artist Matthew Braunginn

Matthew Braunginn is an emerging artist from Madison, Wisconsin. He comes from a mixed-race family with a rich history in civil rights activism and the arts. While he loved art in many forms, Matthew stumbled upon painting while looking for a new creative outlet in 2017, and it quickly became something more. Through the journey, profound emotional expressions are reflected within the paintings, and they are the creation of his own perceptions of existence—be it his autism diagnosis, autoimmune disorder, or the world around him.
