Two minimalist artists, Cody Bustamante of Ashland and Los Angeles artist Minoru Ohira start with simple organic shapes and explore this evolutionary mystery through materials and processes.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cody Bustamante was born in 1955 in Los Angeles, California. He is currently Professor of Art at Southern Oregon University.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bustamante's highly personal visual vocabulary yields images that are both dramatic and enigmatic. Opulently ornate forms float in dark atmospheres, their likeness vaguely related to underwater flora and fauna. Extravagantly ornamented tentacles invade the surrounding silent fields of color. Obsessively incised skins evoke the surfaces of Ancient Chinese bronzes, even as they emanate an aproaching aura of palpable danger.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I hope you will have a chance to enjoy this work.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cody</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="font-family: tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5426816938798014053-179487668269179827?l=codyabustamantenews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>C A Bustamantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03799308764056611430noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426816938798014053.post-2704640439411068402010-09-18T16:46:00.001-07:002010-09-18T16:46:59.672-07:00more imagesthis link<br />http://cabustamanteportfolio.blogspot.com/<br />will take you to an unedited portfolio with additional artwork<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5426816938798014053-270464043941106840?l=codyabustamantenews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>C A Bustamantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03799308764056611430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426816938798014053.post-15483581866021125742010-09-07T19:57:00.000-07:002010-09-12T15:33:38.084-07:00NEWS...back in the studio...wish me luck<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5426816938798014053-1548358186602112574?l=codyabustamantenews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>C A Bustamantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03799308764056611430noreply@blogger.com0
