Piece description from the artist
This is the Pulaski Skyway as seen on my drive from the Newark Airport in New Jersey into the city of New York with some imagination added in. The scene is very urban and industrial, void of color and any real aesthetic quality. My intention was to turn that completely upside down, creating a complete reversal with my vision of the scene. Possibly the painting may make those who have traveled this way smile when they see it.
Sue Graef is an award-winning American artist, born in 1957 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She currently lives in Clearwater, Florida. Growing up in the suburbs not far from New York enabled her to frequently visit the museums and art galleries, a large influence in her work.
Her works are vibrant acrylic landscape paintings on stretched canvas, lightheartedly expressing her vision of the world.
Graef has exhibited in venues across the United States including Amsterdam Whitney Gallery of New York, Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa, IDEA Museum of Mesa, AZ , Red Dot Miami, DISTRICT Arts in Maryland and Superfine Miami Beach. The Haegeumgang Museum recently acquired “Look Both Ways” in their permanent collection. Future exhibits include a solo exhibit at ARTIFACT Gallery, New York.
