About The Work
In his art, Matthew Brannon, proceeding rigorously and sometimes with macabre enthusiasm, dissects a consumerist society that seems to be teetering on the edge of destruction. Immoderation, greed, excesses, and most gravely, indomitable hedonism: these, it seems, are central elements of contemporary life as Brannon sees it. Like many of Brannon’s prints, Masturbating A Lot combines the superficiality of simplified form and content with acerbic narrative text and images, uncovering a deeper—and sometimes abysmal—meaning concealed in these banal situations.
