2020

Judith Wyer is a lifelong painter whose most recent fascination is the gallery space itself. Through this subject matter, she explores the relationship between art object and viewer. In "Barely There," Wyer paints a gallery guard as she peeks around a corner, looking towards the viewer. In the top right section of Wyer's painting, there hangs an image of a reclining nude figure. "Barely There" comprises several blocks of hazy, yet subtle color — representative of different rooms and hallways.
Statement from the artist: "Making a painting is a journey to an unknown destination. In this respect, I consider my process much like a writer, where the narrative seems to develop itself. The relationship of the word and the image is crucial. My work often begins with a photograph of a captivating image, a fleeting moment of everyday existence.
I begin the process of developing the narrative which most often requires numerous edits and lengthy periods of looking at the work without touching it. This can take years. The work and I grow together, which hopefully yields a provocative and intimate elucidation of the human condition. Once I arrive on a title, which is almost never at the outset, everything comes into sharper focus and the work’s form and meaning come into closer agreement.
In fact, I never consider a piece finished. The challenge of one piece informs the next which sometimes leads to resurrecting an incomplete piece from the past. My attic is full of such unfinished works. The words of Diego Velazquez continue to guide me: 'Es verdad, no pintura.'"

In a new series titled Qu(i)e(t)er Interiors, Carl Grauer turns inward and brings us into an intimate space; his home. From a place of repose and safety, this environment provides warmth, comfort, and a stage to observe relationships among objects, beings, and the passage of light. His perspective tracks varied emotions, different points of view, and how the light is experienced by candlelight or sunlight reflected on walls and hardwood. “I found peace in observing the changes in light, and observing with slowness and mindfulness that comes during times of meditation.” Simple household objects are the subject of the rather complex compositions with layered perspectives. Grauer merges adept technical abilities with a penchant for authentic expression.
This painting recalls the Dutch masters with its composition and soft application of paint. Sunlight streams in through the bedroom window, raking across a bed made up with white cotton sheets, and pooling onto the brown hard wood floor. This work is intimate, tranquil and is exquisite in its technical rendering.
