Diamonds Are Forever
Angie Crabtree is a working artist in Berkeley, California. She graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2009 and attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as well as the esteemed Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Her work is based around the American Dream and materialism and her latest series Diamonds are Forever caught our eye here at MOO HQ.
Shine bright
Her latest work consists of photo-realistically painted diamond facets enlarged 1,000+ times. Of her work, Angie says “Viewers experience the small, powerful object in an up-close and personal way. Using oils and reflective glazing techniques, the kaleidoscopic shapes suggest a hypnotic brilliance similar to the real thing”.
Her work aims to demonstrate and challenge the standard American idea of beauty and objectification: symmetrical, proportionate, soft, striking, and sexy. And there’s another angle to her current work too “A portion of my artwork sales are donated to The Greener Diamond Foundation, a charity that runs a 100-acre farm in Sierra Leone that houses, employs and educates child soldiers who left the mining industry”. We love this side of Angie.
To add an extra sparkle to the promotion of her latest series of paintings, Angie chose to produce a collection of stunning Square Business Cards using our Super Gloss finish. And boy do they shine bright.
