"What the Future Holds" may be a subconscious and unintentional "2020"piece-- my only one. Artists go through periods of internalization; at least I know I do. It's like how all creatures must sleep and wake up energized, how seasons pass, and that everyone processes things. I like to refer to my figurative "inbox" and "outbox". There's usually never a shortage of things coming in, loosely thought of as inspiration. What we see, hear, experience, think about, all stimuli which is to be digested and organized. It's what eventually comes out as art. 2020 has been, at least superficially, anemic in the stimuli department.We've been confined, and sort of forced to extract it instead of the usual simple management of it. It's been really neat to watch how all of us adapted to the strange circumstances and see creativity pop up where we might not have expected it. For me personally, I've appreciated the quiet time. A lot of reflection, reorganization, looking, thinking, calming, visualizing, planning, and preparing all that remained... for a new season of artwork. It feels like a "spring" of humanity. Our time confined together, or alone, has been beautiful in many ways. It's soon time to emerge, externalize, celebrate, run through the fields, shout from the mountain tops, and paint paint paint!

Carrie Graber, What the Future Holds (Sheats-Goldstein Residence)
Carrie Graber

Carrie Graber

United States  • 1975

Emerging artists

Carrie had the pleasure of growing up in Southern California, hot summers and warm glowing colors forever romanticized their way into her work. She is a master genre painter of the Southern California contemporary school, whose depictions of light place her in the line of the Luminists. Graber is also in the line of The Hudson River School – 19th-century and early 20th-century painters from the Northeast and Midwest, whose paintings are grounded in capturing the light effects of the sun and nature in dramatic landscapes. Though this movement specialized in anything but genre pictures, Graber mixes this 19th-century fascination with light with her own Pop iconography in the tradition of post-Modern hybridizing. Indeed, the light of SoCal is so different than that of other regions, Graber does a service to the Luminist and Hudson River traditions, with her golden-white light of the skies there, executed so faithfully and fluidly. To top it off, her renditions of the world-famous Southern California lifestyle, as Pop art, are gemlike, sexy, and exacting.

She graduated with distinction, in the fall of 1997 from Art Center College of Design where she studied with such luminaries as Burne Hogarth, Harry Carmean and Richard Bunkall. Shortly thereafter, she took a position as an artist apprentice with the famous Romantic Impressionist Aldo Luongo. A short year later, Aldo sponsored her to develop a body of her own work. Carrie's first opening was in coastal Cambria, California in 1999, and a success. For the next decade, Carrie traveled the world, showing exquisitely developed oil paintings and charcoal drawings. Her admiration for figure and form, juxtaposed with observations of light and shadow and steeped in a fascination with composition materialized in hundreds of paintings.

She has become a collector of modern works, is now a furniture designer and builder and is an ardent advocate of architectural preservation. She volunteers at The Institute for Survival Through Design and works with American architect Dion Neutra on art projects, book readings and public relations.

"I think that it's important for me to realize that things are coming together – skill, observation, and consideration. As an artist, I pursue what will give me the greatest satisfaction and joy, a communication filled with discovery and triumph. What's in a medium? What's in a subject matter, or style? I am currently studying the concept of beauty, and why we find something so. What is preconceived, and what can be edited? I always knew, and now fully realize that function always takes a form, not as a conquest but as a lover. I appreciate the opportunity to exhibit this intimate process itself as the art."

Coming out of Southern California, Carrie Graber is considered to be among the most talented, exciting and well-collected artists in the market today. With her warm tones and exquisite control of illumination creating a perfect composition of light and contrast, Carrie captures the beauty and subtlety of familiar environments, which are often overlooked. Her soft, realistic but also bold approach warms the viewer's' senses and creates a feeling of intimacy. This is the link between Carrie and one of her main influences, Dutch master painter Vermeer.
