About the Item
"Evening Blue Clouds" By Carl Grauer
Oil on Canvas
20x20 inches
21 x 21 x 3 inches framed, custom painted white wood floater frame
Signed en verso
Artist Carl Grauer captures the quiet curiosity of the neighbor's living room windows lit up in early evening. Midnight blue clouds begin to dissipate into the darkening sky and the street lights become illuminate in the foreground. Shadows play in the streets and on the rooftops cast by the grid of telephone wires criss crossing overhead. This painted scene by the Kansas native is a point of departure for any number of potential narratives! The painting is framed in custom white wood floater frame that is wired on the reverse for easy installation.
Carl Grauer explores spatio-temporal themes in a new body of work started in the autumn of 2020. Like so many of us on lock down riding out the surges of the pandemic, Grauer retreated to nature near his home and studio in Poughkeepsie, NY. He used this time to slow down and mindfully observe the “minutia of leaves, moving clouds, and the time of day giving up its fight for the night”. Describing a new series of landscapes organized by a grid structure, the artist explains “I paint a perspective that tracks change, point of view, and these fourth-dimensional observations on a two-dimensional surface with oils.”
Artist Bio:
Carl Grauer is a painter based in Poughkeepsie, NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley. He primarily works in oil, painting mostly portraits and figure-based contemporary realistic paintings. Born in rural Kansas, Grauer left to complete his degrees in human biology and his MFA in medical illustration from the University of Kansas and the University of Michigan, respectively. He spent two years in London studying figurative and portrait painting with several studios and has garnered success showing work nationally and internationally, including being shortlisted for the Wells Art Contemporary Award in the U.K., exhibiting with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in London, and having been granted several residencies including the Jentel Artist Residency in Banner, Wyoming.
