Cody Bayne

Los Angeles artist Cody Bayne explores time, impermanence, coded vernaculars, identity, and place in his Neo-Urban Expressionist mixed-media works. Cody is drawn to the beauty of the discarded. He sources found materials from cities around the world that he then reassembles in his studio to create a unique, yet familiar, urban vernacular. Cody was selected as a 2016 Rising Star, and his work is held in collections across the United States, Canada, and Europe. See more of Cody’s work here.

Arun Prem

Originally from India and now based in southern California, Arun Prem approaches painting as a way to memorialize and celebrate life, while also processing and coming to terms with challenges. Arun paints every day; he starts by making brush drawings inspired by photographs he has taken, and then builds upon this base with oil paint, charcoal, and other media. Arun is a member of the San Diego Museum of Art’s Artists Guild and received the 2nd place Award of Excellence at the Guild’s group show in 2019. See more of Arun’s work here.
