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.”
Here the artist captures a blooming forsythia bush in front of his home. Each 12 x 12 inch square was painted during March to July of 2021, as he observed the flowers and leaves blooming. A bright pink underpainting was used to make the vibrant colors pop in the foreground, elements of which can be seen coming through the white snow, sky, and edges of the painting. A rainbow pride flag waves proudly on the artist's porch, accenting the saturated hues of the yellow forsythia against the vivid blue sky and green painted façade. This painting is complemented with a slim, white painted wood frame and is ready to hang.
Artist Statement:
During the past year there was a need to be in nature, to search for a small touch of a real experience. I found solace in stepping into nature, taking walks, breathing the air and observing with a slowness and mindfulness that comes during times of meditation. And from those moments, I dove into my intrigue with the daily change of a season, the minutia of leaves, moving clouds and the time of day giving up its fight for the night. Using an organized grid as a structure, I paint a perspective that tracks change, point of view and these fourth-dimensional observations on a two-dimensional surface with oils. Here are some works that explore my response to this time and being in the natural world.
