CARRIE GRABER
MAY 2 - 16, 2025
Opening Reception
Friday, May 2, 4 - 7pm
 

Carrie Graber, a Southern California native, draws inspiration from the warm, glowing light of the region, which is central to her work as a master genre painter. Her style blends the light-focused traditions of Luminists and the Hudson River School with Pop art influences, capturing the unique SoCal light with precision. Graber graduated with distinction from Art Center College of Design and studied under notable artists like Burne Hogarth and Aldo Luongo, who later sponsored her early career.

Her work, characterized by a fascination with figure, form, light, and shadow, has been exhibited worldwide. In addition to painting, Graber is a furniture designer, modern art collector, and advocate for architectural preservation with architect Dion Neutra. Her exploration of beauty and form reflects her belief in the harmony between function and aesthetics. With warm tones, controlled illumination, and bold compositions, Graber’s work, often compared to Vermeer, captures the beauty and intimacy of overlooked environments.

"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." – Carrie Graber
