This very tall pine tree across the street stands directly in front of our home. It dominates the sky and the street. It stands sturdy strong and seemingly unchanging, unlike its environment. The sky changes. The seasons change. This tree and its environment are documented over 35 segments/days from November to March. 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 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.

Grauer explores the construction of identity, and how to memorialize objects and individuals through a contemporary documentarian approach to painting. Examples of the present becoming the past so quickly, he focuses on the documentation of time, memory, and imagination and how he may occupy the past, present, and future through these aspects. He is interested in the observation of that evolution of time and how it affects the artifice of the presentation of self, and finally, how by creating a painting, the art acquires an identity and timeline of its own. Grauer has garnered success showing work internationally, including being awarded residencies at Saltonstall, Jentel, Blue Mountain Artist Residency, and shortlisted for the Wells Art Contemporary Award. Grauer has exhibited with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters at the Mall Galleries in London and the Salmagundi Club in NYC. He is showing with several galleries throughout the Hudson Valley and continues his practice of art and happiness.
