CODY BUSTAMANTE

Cody is a visual artist working primarily in drawing and painting media. His work often explores cultural, individual, and environmental dislocation. Cody’s work often includes visual quotes from science, literature, and cultural iconography in spare, abstract spaces. He also regularly exploits perceptual dissonance and the resulting possible narrative ambiguities.

His work is in numerous collections including the Portland Art Museum, University of Texas, Microsoft, Bank of America, Oregon Health Sciences University, Oregon State University, Southern Oregon State University, and the University of Oregon.
