Breathe Light
February 6 - 20, 2026
Artist Reception: Friday, Feb. 6, 4 - 7pm

CODA Gallery is honored to present "Breathe Light," an exhibition of new work by award-winning experimental artist, C. Dutch. Come meet the artist at an artist reception on Friday, February 6, 4 - 7 pm. The exhibition runs through February 20.

"Breathe Light," presents the latest body of work by C. Dutch, reflecting on the interplay between light and color. Based on years of testing and research and development, C. Dutch creates works that emphasize experimentation, exploration and play. He uses materials such as handmade optics, polymer films, acrylics, and resin to explore the formal qualities of light and color. Inside each Lucite box composition, light is shaped, bent and sculptured as if a solid, then blended, merged, and projected into an illusion of three dimensionality. This can challenge the viewers’ perceptions of light and color leading to an attempt to deconstruct it and solve the complexities of the illusion.
 

“Light in a work can express many emotions, including strength, sensitivity,
awe, wonder, calm, and enlightenment.” – C. Dutch

During the reception, enjoy a wine bar and other beverages, benefiting Angel View, a Coachella Valley nonprofit dedicated to serving children and adults with disabilities. 

New artwork from exhibition will be added below when available.
