Brandon Mathis (b. 1995) is a movement and visual artist, born and raised in Los Angeles. Drawing upon LA for inspiration in his work, Brandon turns a blind eye to the glitz and glam, and focuses his attention on the rich culture and history of the city he grew up in. Nostalgia, temptation, abstraction, and childlike wonder, these are key elements of Brandon’s work. With a BFA in Dance and a BA in Political Science from Loyola Marymount University, astute knowledge and free flowing creation combine effortlessly. Utilizing his talents in dance, Brandon has had the pleasure of appearing in films and music videos for Beyonce, Solange Knowles, Miley Cyrus, Pink, and Lenny Kravitz among others. He has also shared the stage with world renowned talent at The Academy Awards, The Grammy Awards, and The American Music Awards. In addition to live performance, Brandon has been able to combine his creative instincts and movement capabilities for industry power houses such as Maison Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Vogue, GAP, Jordan, Apple, and many more. Outside of the movement world Brandon flexes his creative muscles in photography, directing and filmmaking, as well as metal sculpting. The way he is able to move in and through various mediums in creation is directly related to the way he moves in and around a dance studio. Movement is the through line in all of his work. A subtle yet firm reminder by way of his other endeavors, that movement connects us all. And not only is movement a great connector, it is also a powerful conduit for societal healing.
