About The Artwork

THIS PIECE IS A DIPTYCH, HOWEVER CAN BE FRAMED TOGETHER OR SEPERATE ,THOUGH THE WORKS ARE INTENDED TO REMAIN TOGETHER AND PRESENTED NEXT TO EACH OTHER This piece was a 2014 ArtSlant Prize 4th Showcase Winner in the mixed-media Category Cody Bayne is an Artist based in Los Angeles & the founder of c/NUE (Center for Neo-Urban Expressionism), which currently maintains a digital presence with an outreach plan over the next few years to create gallery & institutional partnerships for core c/NUE artists. He coined the term NEO-URBAN EXPRESSIONISM to create a reference to his work specifically but has since found a handful of artists around the globe pursuing a similar conversation with their practice and with c/NUE he hopes to help spark the Social Conversation that the work & artists' address. He considers himself in more broad strokes a NEW INFORMALIST. The work explores the ubiquitous beauty of decay & renewal of the discarded and torn via a diverse range of sources and influences. He “mines’ his environment and reconfigures the information with the intent for combined context of social implications & visual harmony. The work is intended to create a connection to the beauty of the decayed & discarded, the new & reborn. He’s interested in urban decay, urban renewal, gentrification & the commercialism that is a part of everyday experience living in Los Angeles. "Rawness & incompleteness speaks to current conditions of the regions that I tend to inhabit & explore. Thus, it is as much a reflection of my inner self, as much as it is a comment of my personal external experience. Though I do not approach the work through a filter of Social Commentary, I do draw upon the visual references that inhabit an environment that reflects upon itself and allow the work to reveal deeper meaning. My work roots deeply in the present contemporary sphere whilst simultaneously connecting to references from a wide range of sources, such as Nouveau Realism, 20th C. Modernism & Historical Mythologies “ "I like the Space between. The Void. The Nowhere. The Everywhere." “ I’m interested in a conversation. I appreciate the dialogues instigated by the ambiguity surrounding the work. It is familiar yet foreign, abstract yet politicized, all depending on the viewers’ personal experiences and relationship to the information. I like suggestion and possibility more than specifics. It is visceral, as well as, simply visual.” Collage,Décollage, advertising posters, detritus, ephemera, mark making,acrylic gel medium,paint of various mediums on merchant posters.

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.
