111 on 111 

Carrie Graber's "111 on 111" is a symphony of light and form that captures a fleeting, dreamlike moment. The painting's composition, dominated by a vintage car and a figure bathed in the warm glow of the sun, evokes a sense of nostalgia and the laid-back atmosphere of Southern California. Graber's masterful use of color and light creates a visual language that speaks to themes of desire and escape. The interplay of light and shadow, particularly on the car's surface and the figure's silhouette, imbues the scene with a cinematic quality. The choice of a vintage car, carefully rendered with attention to detail, functions almost as a signifier, evoking cultural associations with freedom and mobility. The composition, with its carefully placed elements, invites the viewer to contemplate the transient nature of experience. It is a visual poem about the interplay between form and light, inviting us to decode its complex layers of meaning.
