In "Pilgrim," the fusion of childlike innocence and raw emotional intensity etched into concrete invites viewers to ponder whether it's self-reflective, social commentary, or both, carrying a weighty significance. The central focus sparks introspection, while "anything helps" on the concrete holds layers of meaning - a response, a plea, or a nod to the less fortunate. Childlike whimsy surfaces in naive drawings like a smiling hand, an ornate heart, and an Amazon delivery van, alongside faces and phrases with dual interpretations. Does it say "winning" or "inning"? Is there a hidden date? Materials are not just mediums but vessels of history and temporality. Their fleeting malleability mirrors the fragility of emotions and overlooked moments. Mixed media layers add complexity, with concrete emphasizing permanence and it's construction site origin reference. "Pilgrim" intertwines innocence with emotional complexity, inviting viewers on a journey of self-discovery and interpretation. It resonates with hidden feelings and memories, deepening understanding with each contemplative observation.

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.
