ARTIST STATEMENT
Sydney Croskery makes muscular abstraction paintings combining spontaneous actions with delicate and detailed punctuations.
Using the adage “the meaning is in the making,” Croskery delves into abstraction to make sense of political, personal, emotional and absurd aspects of life, with a desire to make rigorous paintings that are simultaneously timely and timeless. Starting a painting at zero, visual clarity slowly emerges in a work which eventually coalesces with aligning external themes. Through each painting’s title and a corresponding text, individual works highlight a moment in time, making the paintings a visual record for the complex and conflicting events, perceptions and feelings that make up a day.
What art classes did you take while at Crossroads? Painting and Drawing, Ceramics.
How did Crossroads help to shape or influence you as an artist? Crossroads helped me take a very serious, critical and fun approach to art-making at a young age and that has carried me through my life.
