About the exhibition:

A Project Space Exhibition
Otho D. Branson, Jr., Artist
Phyllis Rosenzweig, Curator

Experience the beauty and variety of paintings D.C. native Otho Branson creates while working within self-imposed limitations.

Branson’s paintings are rigorously constructed using mathematical and scientific principles, particularly dynamic symmetry and dynamic equilibrium. These frameworks provide structure and balance, while his use of the Munsell Color System guides his exploration of primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—and their permutations.

The artworks blend precision and creativity, resulting in works that are both systematic and deeply personal. Branson’s art connects disciplines, inviting artists, mathematicians, scientists, and curious viewers to explore the intersections of creativity, order, and natural systems.

This exhibition, his first solo museum show, features work spanning from the 1970s to the present day.

This event will be held in-person at the museum.
