“To see is to think, and for me, painting is another way of thinking.” –Cody york

York looks to the interconnection of day and night, and of joy and its broad contrasts, as overarching metaphors for what it’s like to feel, see, love, and live. Connections both in terms of subject matter and visual atmosphere so that light and dark function not so much as concepts or categories, but modes of inquiry engaged in conversation. As a result, his work transcends with impulse and emotion that features both celebratory harmonies and heated tensions.

York’s multidisciplinary practice spans across painting, photography and sculpture. His work has been in exhibitions across the US, Europe and Asia, and is held in public and private collections worldwide.
