Alexandra Brueggeman (b. 1997, Michigan) is a Detroit-based artist and educator. Her artwork aims to express the digital relevance in the operatics of twenty-first-century life. It stems from education and experiences to make multimedia two-dimensional works. By painting and drawing, a reflection of urban society's operatics through technological and handmade means occurs. Considering the marks made by counter-culture implies order and control.
Her midsized paintings on panels layer colorful and abstract backgrounds with patterns to build recognizable entities. Like a designer who views a document in Adobe Illustrator, the canvas is an artboard. She applies traditional artistic approaches and grid systems to pieces. Overlaid representative subjects range from street-side trash to dumpsters. The constant presence of unwanted graffiti tags on lonesome metallic shapes fascinates and forebodes. The painted and cropped details hold the presence of resistance in the city.
