Diamonds and Rust is a new exhibition which opened just last night in Los Angeles, as the debut solo exhibition for the artist Sarah Cromarty with Circus Gallery. The artist’s paintings reflect “new visions of the American landscape and American Dream. She brings her simmering and dreamy ideas and style to cowboys, ravers, motorcycle riders, sports cars, and Los Angeles.” The exhibition acts in part autobiographically, as she uses images of herself and ex-lovers within the work, while also carefully referencing elements of art historical painting through appropriation and defacement.

The artist is a BFA graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California and has recently exhibited with Sixspace, High Energy Constructs and The Balmoral, all in Los Angeles. The artist currently lives and works in LA.
