With Freedom Comes Responsibility - Get Vaccinated Now!
"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

We will not be going back into lockdowns. Why? Because we now have the tools to put this virus behind us. The science says the vaccines work – including against the Delta variant. We urge Americans to get vaccinated.

Jersey Rain In New Online Collection
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 we drove there from Exit 148 in Glen Ridge we would often detour through Irvington to grab an Italian hotdog or sausage at Jimmy Buff's. Once my dad fresh from a Marine Corps event strode into the hotdog stand in his dress blues. My painting Jersey Rain was inspired by these family memories.

Happy National Ice Cream Day!
Gregg Chadwick
Saffron and Rose
30"x22"gouache on paper 2021
Happy National Ice Cream Day!
Ice cream on a summer day to cool the heat. A bevy of flavors. Perhaps saffron pistachio, white rose, pomegranate, or chocolate chip? What is your favorite flavor?
My gouache on paper painting "Saffron and Rose" was inspired by a stop at an ice cream vendor in Les Halles in the shadow of Saint-Eustache. 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.

Madam Wong's
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. The clear daylight of Los Angeles brought the movie studios out west. And the neon soaked nocturnal light lured writers into the shadows of L.A. As a 17 year old art student at UCLA, I embraced the flickering cinematic light of Hollywood and the poetic light of night and day in the City of Angels. I am continuously inspired by the diversity, history, and beauty of greater Los Angeles.
Available at Saatchi Art and Singulart.

ABOUT ORGANIZING ARTIST LIONEL POPKIN
Lionel Popkin is an artist based in what is now called Los Angeles. He was born and raised in Indiana to an Indian mother and a Jewish father. His mixed-race and malleable identity markers place him in a questionable position in relation to the racial and social discourse created from the twin sins of genocide and slavery that formed the dominant power structures in America. As a choreographer, Popkin creates kinetic scenarios that intertwine the multiplicity of inter-cultural dialogue between the imagery and iconography of the Indian subcontinent that surrounded his youth and his post-modern Western training. His work questions how bodies, objects, and media are allowed to exist in time and space.
Popkin has been presented nationally and internationally at venues including REDCAT, Highways Performance Space, The Getty Center and The Getty Villa in Los Angeles, Danspace Project, Abrons Arts Center and Dance Theater Workshop in New York City, the Jacob’s Pillow Inside/Out Series in Massachusetts, The Painted Bride and Philadelphia Dance Projects in Philadelphia, ODC in San Francisco, The Place Theater in London, and the Guongdong Modern Dance Festival in Guongzhou, China. Commissions include San Diego’s Lower Left Performance Collective, the Li Chiao-Ping Dance Company, Carolyn Hall, and Nejla Yatkin. Popkin has been a dancer in the companies of Trisha Brown, Terry Creach, and Stephanie Skura.
Popkin has received grants from the Mellon Foundation, the National Performance Network’s Creation Fund, the National Dance Project Touring Subsidy, the Center for Cultural Innovation, the Puffin Foundation, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, and the Durfee Foundation. Popkin is currently a Professor of Choreography and Performance in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at UCLA.
ABOUT RECOVERY JUSTICE: BEING WELL
Recovery Justice: Being Well, aims to highlight the recent circumstances that have evolved during the pandemic (racial justice demonstrations and destruction, as well as social discontent and general disconnection) into a series of self-organized artist projects that merges the exterior and interior public spaces of City of Santa Monica property. 18th Street Airport Campus at Santa Monica Municipal Airport will be the site where artists reimagine the city and beyond in the midst of complex social unrest globally. Recovery Justice will recuperate through various means the digital and physical footprints left in a city that struggles to reclaim the seemingly peaceful environment it once had. Artists will develop a palette for making and sharing artworks responding to the street experience in safe, healing and expressive modes. This porous series is a point of departure to reconcile and redefine the concept of justice. Learn more here.
SUPPORT
Recovery Justice: Being Well is generously supported by Art of Recovery, an initiative of the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs, santamonica.gov/arts/artofrecovery.
Additional support comes from Los Angeles County’s WE RISE LA program. Sara Daleiden’s residency and facilitation work on these projects is generously supported by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. Bailiwik is also a supporting partner on this exhibition.
