"This is not about politics, this is about life and death... with freedom comes responsibility." -President Biden, at the White House, encouraging Americans to get vaccinated. Pres. Biden: "So I say to all those who are unvaccinated: Please, please get vaccinated. And to the rest of America, this is no time to be despondent or let our guard down. We just need to finish the job with science, with facts, with the truth." pic.twitter.com/gZb2yirZfJ — MSNBC (@MSNBC) July 29, 2021   We will not be going back into lockdowns. Why?

  Gregg Chadwick Jersey Rain 30"x40"oil on linen 2016-2021 Honored that "Jersey Rain" is included in the Inspired by Edward Hopper collection curated by Erin Remington -  Assistant Curator at Saatchi Art. American artist Edward Hopper created striking images of everyday life imbued with an understated force and beauty. Often my artwork honors Hopper's use of light and cinematic drama. More on "Jersey Rain" below: "What's your exit?" I remember my Grandma giggling one morning when I spread mustard on my bread instead of butter because of a billboard I saw along the New Jersey Turnpike that depicted buttered bread with such a mustardy yellow that I thought it had to be a French's condiment ad. The New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway run the length of the state and at first meeting folks from Jersey often ask, "What's your exit?" My Grandma and Grandpa Desch lived off of Exit 136 in Garwood, New Jersey. When w...

Parisian memories blend with many summers past in my painting. Available at  @saatchiart  Art and  @singulartofficial Please Note: This artwork is painted on a 30"x22" sheet of paper and the image size is 18"x12" so a nice clean border surrounds the image.

  Gregg Chadwick Madame Wong's 30"x22"gouache on paper 2021 "Esther Wong had the foresight to seize upon a mythic time in Los Angeles rock history, and her willingness to be open to fresh music that was far removed from her own life experiences helped transform L.A.'s musical landscape. And for that she should be remembered." - Nikki Darling My gouache on paper painting "Madame Wong's" looks back on Los Angeles music history as New Wave and Punk exploded upon the scene. Esther Wong opened her groundbreaking Chinatown club in 1978. Notable bands that she showcased included Los Lobos, The Knack, The Police, The Motels, The Members, Fishbone, The Go-Go's, X, The Alley Cats, The Bangs, Oingo Boingo, Los Illegals, Candy, Guns N' Roses, Black Flag, Daniel Amos, Fear, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Ramones. Madame Wong's  is part of a new series of paintings crafted as magic lenses that combine the past, present, and future of Los Angeles....
