  Gregg Chadwick Purple Rain (Prince Rogers Nelson) 24"x18" oil on linen 2016 Sold During Frieze Week, February 2023 Thank you to my collectors, fans, followers, and friends who visited my studio at the Santa Monica Airport during  @friezeofficial . Honored that my homage to the sublime Prince has found its home with one of my treasured collectors. I am inspired by the art that I saw at Frieze with my new friend  @ara.oshagan  and percolating with ideas that will soon hit the canvas. As you know if you stepped in my studio - my brushes are clean, my paints are ready, and the colors will soon flow. If you heard Purple Rain playing across the Santa Monica Airport on Sunday Eve at the closing of Frieze that was  @18thstreetarts  amazing Kevin and me pouring one out musically for Prince! #art   #contemporaryart   #Prince   #Frieze   #LAart   #SantaMonica

It’s more of Purple Rain from ⁦ @HERMusicx ⁩ in her debut in ⁦ @prince ⁩ ‘s hometown ⁦ @ArmoryMn ⁩ pic.twitter.com/lO08oSo6Hs — Jon Bream (@jonbream) April 30, 2022 Jon Bream writes in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that "Minneapolis matters to H.E.R. The Oscar- and Grammy-winning R&B star signaled that with her purple outfit on Friday night at the Armory in Minneapolis. She expressed it in words, acknowledging that she dressed in tribute to Minneapolis' most famous musician, and spoke of how Prince was a major influence. She also nodded to him musically, playing the climactic guitar section of "Purple Rain" at the end of a brand-new song." Gregg Chadwick H.E.R. 36”x36” oil on linen 2021
