Artist Carrie Graber (American artist )
Carrie (b. 1975, American) 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. 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. Her soft, realistic but also bold approach
warms the viewer's' senses and creates a feeling of intimacy.
