Sydney Croskery

Sydney Croskery is a Los Angeles-based artist whose paintings are both materially and conceptually rigorous. Her process combines meticulous action painting with written elements, using abstraction as a way to make sense of the political, emotional, overwhelming, and often humorous aspects of life. The titles and essays accompanying her paintings bridge the personal and the social, creating a visual record of the complexity of contemporary life. Croskery has had solo exhibitions at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, Craig Krull Gallery, boxoProjects, and Citrus College Art Gallery. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at Over the Influence, Monte Vista Projects, Baik Art, Central Park Gallery, Charlie James Gallery, The Fellows of Contemporary Art, the Bakersfield Museum, the Torrance Art Museum, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. She has also presented performance pieces at the Getty Museum, Jack Tilton Gallery, the Deitch Art Parade, and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. A proud former member of LA Art Girls, she is also one half of the duo *The World Famous Wiener Girls of Chicago*. Croskery was awarded the Pollock-Krasner grant in 2018.
