Matthew Anderson (b. 1989, Indiana USA) is a visual artist, musician, and software director based in Mexico City.
His work focuses on making complex feelings and our often generationally inherited innate emotional responses accessible for processing, both for self and audience, through the playful expression of paint and song.
His upcoming debut album ("What's Your Worldview?") is composed of songs written through most of his 20's (2012-2019).
In this collection, released under the moniker Charles Arizona, he grapples with the "what" and "why" of new felt anxiety and depression, resulting substance dependence, love come and gone, and the role (and validity) of the version of Christianity deeply imprinted upon him by his family during childhood.
Charles Arizona was the email address of his grandfather.
This page serves to listen to each track from the album paired with paintings created over the same time period. These selected paintings can be further explored in a virtual exhibition hosted by Casa Equis.

Many compositions challenge the “either/or” duality of polar emotions (like happy or sad) and resolve with a firm hold on both feelings.
