The Sweet Beginnings

2/23/2017

Cody A. French has been working very hard to obtain his degree and continue on the path of the creative industries. Currently, he is in the process of exploring a new medium and creating his final scholarly work called The Sweet Show.

Visual spectacles composed of glitter, high sheen, and an array of pastel colors, The Sweet Show. This body of work consists of melted ice cream sculptures created from clay, acrylic and resin. Each piece brings humor to the loss of potential and wonder. "They keep us tied the truths and glory of senses of humor, a sweet escape to get over regret"- Cody A. French.

The Sweet Show is still in the works, but will be showing in May 2017 at Cornish College of the Arts.

Stay connected to see more and be updated on the process and showing of this unique body of work!

Cool for the Summer

7/19/2016

The Reaching to be Revealed showing at the Lynn Hanson Gallery is now over and Cody is moving on to new works!

The rest of the summer Cody is focusing on three major series of works. Two of the series can be briefly hinted, Belletristic and Transcendence by Dream.
Bellatristic is a large series of drawings focusing on the famous literary characters we all know and love. This drafted series shows exquisite drawings that will sweep you away into to literary worlds of fairylands, folklore, and cult classics.
Transcendence by Dream will provide a new way of viewing acrylic painting and sculpture. These pieces bind together earthly crystals and acrylic polymers to provide sensational pieces, elaborating on connections to the earth and natural spiritualism.

Both of these series are bound to show later this year and into the upcoming year of 2017.

Please stay in touch to see Cody's next showing and new creations!
