  Gregg Chadwick The Golden Hour - Venezia 30"x24" oil on linen 2023 Do you cherish a city or place that takes your breath away? For me, Venice, Italy has been a world of wonder since I first visited. My oil on linen painting "The Golden Hour" was inspired by my time over the years in the magical city of Venice. Poised between sea and land, Venice is a place where light, shade, color, and reflection merge and recombine in a watery environment. In this mirrored world, past and present seem to coexist.History's shadows slide in and out of darkened alleys. The color and light found in the artworks of the Venetian painters Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, and Tiepolo, seen up close in the city of their creation, have been revelatory for me. Their works glow like light upon water. This effect of reflected, sparkling light bouncing off canals, is called gibigiane in Venetian dialect. The liquid nature of transparent oils glowing from within...

Gregg Chadwick Two Straws 24"x36" oil on linen 2023 The fresh fragrance of linseed oil and linen fills my studio as I just put some finishing touches on new work. My oil on linen painting "Two Straws" is a short story in paint. A woman sits at a table in a diner with an empty seat across from her. On the table is a milkshake with two straws. Will her companion return? What do you think will happen in the next scene? "Two Straws" is the latest cinematic painting in my L.A. Stories series that explores the wonderfully diverse and sprawling city of Los Angeles. See this artwork and more at our upcoming evening Open Studio Art at the Airport event on May 13, 2023 from 5-9 PM.   #art   #SantaMonica   #SantaMonicaArt   #contemporaryart   #worksonpaper   #artattheairport   #oilonlinen   #diner   #milkshake

  Excited that my gouache on paper painting "A Walk With Obama" has been included in the new Gouache Paintings Collection on Saatchi Art. Barack and Michelle Obama were recently seen dancing with Bruce Springsteen at his concert in Barcelona. Michelle was onstage with Bruce, The E Street Band, Patti Scialfa, and Kathleen Sue Spielberg (Kate Capshaw) during the song Glory Days. Barack was offstage hanging out with Steven Spielberg. Megan Wright , Senior Curator at Saatchi Art put the collection together and writes: "When artists seek the richness of opaque color but the fluidity of water-based paint, they turn to gouache. Discover the unique charm of the medium in this expertly-curated collection." This artwork and a group of my recent works on paper will be featured in my next open studio on May 13th from 5-9 PM.
