This painting was inspired by my own view looking north along East 28th Street, where One Vanderbilt rises at the end of the block like a beacon. I reimagined the everyday scene in a vivid, invented palette: magenta pavements, deep indigo roadway, lavender crosswalks and a cobalt sky. The tower’s faceted, stepped profile is drawn in luminous yellow line, so it appears lit from within against the blue.
Bold, flat planes of color and confident dark… contours give the composition a graphic clarity. Pink and red buildings press in on the left, a golden facade with red-trimmed windows anchors the right, and the avenue narrows toward the skyline. A yellow taxi, a one-way sign, a traffic signal and young street trees add the small details that make the corner feel unmistakably New York. A pedestrian in the foreground and another crossing the street give the scene a human scale and a sense of everyday motion.

« I re-create images from life driving my car, walking the streets, strolling in the park and simple objects, using bold color and striking compositions, my rules, no boundaries. »
Sue Graef (b. 1957, Philadelphia, PA) is a contemporary figurative painter celebrated for her vibrant, highly stylized interpretations of the modern landscape. Her formal artistic foundation was shaped by formative training at the Tyler School of Art (1975–1978). A prominent fixture on the contemporary circuit, Graef exhibits extensively at premier national platforms, including Art Miami Context, Art Wynwood, and the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, with museum exhibitions at the Chihuly Collection and Imagine Museum. In 2025, she presented her solo exhibition, Urban Visions, at the College of Southern Nevada. Recently, a major large-scale work was acquired for the permanent collection of the Rosewood Residences of Lido Key, FL. Graef currently works from her studio in Florida.
