Did I think it would abide as it was forever
all that time ago the turned earth in the old garden
where I stood in spring remembering spring in another place
that had ceased to exist and the dug roots kept giving up
their black tokens their coins and bone buttons and shoe nails
made by hands and bits of plates as the thin clouds
of that season slipped past gray branches on which the early
white petals were catching their light and I thought I knew
something of age then my own age which had conveyed me
to there and the ages of the trees and the walls and houses
from before my coming and the age of the new seeds as I
set each one in the ground to begin to remember
what to become and the order in which to return
and even the other age into which I was passing
all the time while I was thinking of something different

Gregg Chadwick @ Artwalk Culver City June 5th, 2010



From the curator:

Murmurs
New Paintings By Gregg Chadwick
Artwalk Culver City 2010


“In Gregg Chadwick’s paintings there is an elegiac tone, a kind of nostalgia for a manifestation of the purely spiritual that most of us can never hope to attain. The paintings are truly captivating in that they invite us irresistibly into their spaces and hold the attention there in their swirl of light and color, suggesting inexhaustible depths of experience for the eye to explore.”
-Peter Clothier

It is my pleasure to feature Gregg Chadwick’s artwork to a growing audience at the Artwalk Culver City 2010. Chadwick’s vision is global and inclusive. The paintings in Murmurs encourage viewers to travel into their haunting beauty. Fittingly, within the past year Chadwick’s paintings have entered collections in Tokyo, Rio, Paris, and Amsterdam as well as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston.

Chadwick is currently at work on paintings for a major exhibition slated to open in October 2010 at the Manifesta Maastricht Gallery located in the historic city of Maastricht in the Netherlands. A book on his art will be published in conjunction with this exhibit.

Another solo show of Chadwick’s work is set to open at the Monterey College Art Gallery in October 2011. Gregg Chadwick’s painting Painter and Model will be exhibited in the Julie Nester Gallery’s exploration of the self-portrait in contemporary art. The exhibition opens on June 14, 2010 in Park City, Utah.
