  View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Other Art Fair (@theotherartfair) Happy Pride!!!!  Honored that my painting " Moving Colors ", inspired by the uplifting Pride Month events that I have taken part in along with my trans family members and queer friends, is in this collection. "Moving Colors" describes the colors of the LGBTQ community (as represented by the flags) and the idea of moving forward in a societal sense, advocating for change and progress. "Moving Colors"speaks to a moment in time that is both fleeting and part of a larger, ongoing movement that continually fights for equality for all. Hope, Love, Progress. Sold at The Other Art Fair Los Angeles - September 2025. Hope to see you at my booth at The Barker Hangar September 24 – 27 2026!  

PRIDE (Last of Us)

  PRIDE (Last of Us) 30"x22" pastel, color pencil, ink, and wash on paper 2025 by Gregg Chadwick My multi-media drawing on paper "PRIDE (Last of Us)" was inspired by a poignant scene in the HBO Max series which is based on the storytelling in the video game "Last of Us". In my artwork queer lovers Dina and Ellie ride on horseback through dystopian Seattle's Capitol Hill. In this perhaps eerily prescient future, PRIDE celebrations have ceased and anti - LGBTQIA bigotry is present. As they ride, Dina and Ellie notice the PRIDE flags, but don’t know their meaning. "What's up with all the rainbows?” Dina asks. “I dunno. Maybe they were all optimists,” Ellie responds. But, we the audience know what the PRIDE symbols mean and the loss is heartbreaking. As we near the end of June 2025 - the world is in a particular tough place. My artwork is a visual meditation to remind us all that "Love is Love!"
