Sarit Halo

Sarit Halo, born 1977 in Los Angeles, California, has been making art in Tierra del Sol Studios since 2002. Traversing drawing, painting, and ceramic sculpture, Halo’s practice has seen numerous evolutions over the years, but retains an intrinsic playfulness that has become a signature of her work. Halo creates mixed media portraits, interiors, and landscapes that fuse memory and imagination, integrating imagery from her everyday life and dreams with patterns and poses she gathers from source materials. Working with a combination of colored pencil, marker, and paint, Halo’s peaceful mark making technique is visible with each methodical stroke. These prismatic compositions transcend space and time as families, pets, and figures from history are gently held within the warm serenity of Halo’s world. With a maximalist application of media and texture, Halo fills each composition with bold, repetitive patterns that order her densely populated works with kaleidoscopic grace. This visual language seamlessly continues in her three-dimensional practice, where she crafts colorfully glazed ceramic sculptures of stylized animals, dramatically posed figures, and characters from pop culture that reinforce the delicate narratives of her works on paper.

Sarit Halo has exhibited her work at Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles, California; the Nickelodeon Offices in Burbank, California; Descanso Gardens’ Sturt Haaga Gallery in La Canada Flintridge, California; First Street Gallery in Upland, California; and the Outsider Art Fair in New York, New York.
