“THE DESTRUCTION PROCESS can be Just AS CRUCIAL AS THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. AND at Times, I COULDN’t SAY where one stops and the other begins.”

–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 feature both celebratory harmonies and heated tensions.

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