Artist Bio

William Cromar is an artist and educator based in Philadelphia. He hybridizes a peculiar past in architecture, music, animation and artmaking into a unique body of sculptural and installation art. Largely by exploring spatial psycho-perception, this work develops paradoxical manifestations the human need for, and perhaps the futility of, finding order. He was one of three collaborators who received a Silver Medal at the 1983 International Biennial of Architecture in Sofia, Bulgaria for the film order through geometry, produced with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1995 he was awarded an exhibition in the Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial's Challenge Exhibitions, a prestigious regional competition sponsored by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He was selected as a Finalist for the Pew Fellowships in the Arts in 2000.In the past 20 years he has shown nationwide, freelanced as a successful architectural modeling consultant, taught and lectured at the University of Pennsylvania, served as Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture at Philadelphia University, and was a visiting critic at Wesleyan University. williamCromar currently coordinates the Penn State Abington College Art Program, where he also teaches new media, encouraging future artists to create senseless acts of beauty on the Mackintosh.
