Easy Living, 2023

Codi Barbini is an artist, filmmaker and writer. Her work deals with a curiosity about language; how we are spoken to, and the roles we are given and play. Her exploration of flowers, often found on her daily walks or borrowed from memory, is an ode to love, joy, and gratitude, a sentiment deeply rooted in her daily process based painting practice. The artist's floral paintings offer a contemporary perspective on this enduring subject matter. Her large-scale oil paintings and smaller works on found (magazine) paper embrace abstraction and metaphor, pushing the boundaries of creativity through gesture, color, and scale.
