ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Part of the ongoing art series "Disparate Renewal" since 2013, this work explores the interplay between materials, time, and place. Central to the series are merchant posters, sourced mainly from urban spaces near the artist's home. These posters, often found in struggling areas, symbolize socioeconomic challenges. Originating from Colby Poster Co. in 1948 Los Angeles, these posters, with bold designs, served the city's car culture. Now, in the digital age, they remain as reminders of the past. The artworks use reclaimed poster fragments from walls and panels, representing growth, discardment, and fading memories. They invite viewers to interpret the pieces, evoking past emotions. A unique visual language, featuring golden lines inspired by street markings, enriches the compositions. These lines form abstract shapes that communicate and stand alone. The use of gold references Los Angeles' dreamlike allure and the pursuit of riches. "Disparate Renewal" encapsulates time, memory, and human experience through intricate material arrangements and visual language.

Cody Bayne is an Artist based in Los Angeles. He has exhibited his work extensively across the United States, Canada, and Europe, and is known for his interdisciplinary approach to art-making. His practice encompasses painting, mixed media, sculpture, and new media, all of which he uses to explore themes of time, impermanence, identity, and place. Bayne's work is characterized by a personal visual language that creates intellectual and emotional connections with the viewer. He often uses materials sourced from various cities around the world to create a visual vernacular that is both familiar and foreign. His work is influenced by 20th-century art movements such as Nouveau Réalisme and Art Informel, and he has coined the terms Neo-Urban Expressionism and Urban Informalism as quantifiers for his physical practice. Bayne's artistic process involves "harvesting" information from the environment of the city and reassembling materials into compositions that reflect his interest in the beauty of flaws and the discarded. He balances formulaic parameters with action-oriented processes, and allows immediacy and accidental interventions to play a strong role in the making of his work. His artist hand is discernible in all his work, serving as a symbol of both humanity and the distressed conditions and environments that inspire him. Though Bayne does not intentionally approach his work through a filter of social commentary, he is keenly aware that the poetry of the metropolis leads to this conversation. His work is contemporary and academic, addressing impermanence, coded vernaculars, identity, and place. Through his art, Bayne strives to create a visual dialogue that transposes from walls, streets, and a personal language, and fosters a connection between contemporary art and cultural intersectionality.
