# Beth Cody: *Gesturing in the Abstract Countryside*

Oct 6 – 31, 2026 · on view, just opened

Oil paintings that turn horizons, foliage and cropped flowers into abstract, gestural rhythms of brushwork.

The paintings set observed landscape against abstract mark-making, translating natural settings into structured visual rhythms instead of direct depictions. They move between wide horizon lines, dense foliage and close-cropped floral forms.

Energetic brushstrokes, layered washes and raw linework carry motion across each canvas, balanced by earth tones, deep greens and small bursts of color.
