Gregg Chadwick
New York Stories
40" x 30" oil on linen
The holiday season always makes me think of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. I have spent many memorable moments here over the years. Catching a train or grabbing an espresso, Grand Central never lets me down. If I am at the Oyster Bar, the Campbell, or Shake Shack, I never fail to offer a toast to Jackie O who helped save this incredible building from the wrecking ball. My painting , “New York Stories” was inspired by my many visits to Grand Central and all the stories echoing in the stone hallways.
Gregg Chadwick Interview by Laura Siebold in
"The Other Art Fair edition at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica couldn’t have been a better place to give contemporary artist Gregg Chadwick a platform to exhibit his oil on linen paintings, especially as he creates his art in an old airplane hangar, as well.
Gregg takes inspiration from important cultural and political figures and turns them into paintings, capturing moments and moods of contemporary America. Gregg’s series are very distinct in character – ranging from strong portraits of human beings, animals in the natural world, over medical portraitures to paintings that are inspired by meditation. A common element of Gregg’s paintings is his use of “internal illumination” to hold the viewer’s attention, his layered “Pentimenti” painting technique, and his tendency to create a glimpse of a path into the unknown future, told by his paintings multifaceted stories. Often, the artist draws ideas from poetry, novels, and music, then incorporating those elements into his paintings. Being renowned for his expressive art, Chadwick has exhibited in various galleries and shows across the U.S. and internationally; his paintings are part of many permanent collections. Gregg Chadwick is based in Los Angeles, California."
