Sarah Crowner (born 1974) is an American painter best known for her geometric abstractions that evoke the style of hard-edge painting of the 1950s and 60s.

Biography

Sarah Crowner was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1974. She received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1996 and a Masters of Fine Arts from Hunter College, City University of New York, in 2002. She also attended École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, in Paris, France. Crowner lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.[1]

Work

Crowner creates paintings by sewing together angular pieces of already painted canvas and linen. This method emerged from her impatience with the medium.[2] In an interview from an article from the New York Observer, Crowner states that "sewing made sense at first because it was a way of cutting up, collaging, reorganizing and re-constructing in a practical way."[3]

She also creates small ceramic works in neutral color palettes and that have more organic shapes.[4]

Career

In October 2012, she published her first widely distributed book, Format, through the non-profit publisher, Primary Information.[5] Her most recent publication, Sarah Crowner: Patterns' (April, 2018) is her second project with Brooklyn-based, non-profit publisher, Primary Information.

Crowner had work featured in a group exhibition, Painter Painter, which focused on abstract painting. This took place at the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), and ran from February 2, 2013 to October 27, 2013.[6]

Crowner's third solo exhibition, The Wave, ran from January 5, 2014 to February 2, 2014 at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery (New York).[7]

Crowner was award the 2019-2020 Rome Prize in the category for visual art by the American Academy in Rome.[8]
