ABDA Collective

ABDA Collective is the Los Angeles-based practice of Alexis Branger and Devin Andersen. Their abstract work focuses on layers of texture, color, and industrial material studies to create visually dynamic compositions that transcend two-dimensionality. Branger is a first-generation Los Angeles native with roots in Barranquilla, Colombia, and Caracas, Venezuela. Andersen is a Los Angeles transplant from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They met while pursuing BFAs at Otis College of Art & Design. After graduating, Branger worked in the motion picture and television industry as a painter and set designer. Andersen was the co-owner and curator of The Barber Shop Art Space in Los Angeles. They both work side by side in the production industry as well as in their personal art practice. ABDA Collective applies commercial fabrication and production techniques to fine art, creating murals, paintings and sculptural works that amplify the sum of their parts. In recent years they have shown with galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Mexico City.
