  I am truly honored that "Where the Light Gets In" has found its new home in Brooklyn. My journey as an artist was deeply shaped by my time earning my Master’s at NYU, and there is something incredibly special about seeing my work return to the city that remains so instrumental to my creative history. In this oil on linen piece, I wanted to capture the magic of the bookstore—not just as a point of sale, but as a profound portal to knowledge and imagination. To me, booksellers and librarians are the dedicated custodians of these gateways. 📚✨ My practice has always been a struggle to deeply see and to grasp those elusive, ephemeral moments that shape our lives. Thank you @saatchiart and my new collector for giving this painting such a meaningful new home.

Installation of the exhibition "Michel-Ange Rodin. Living Bodies": an operation of extreme precision. ⚠️ Moving sculptures weighing several hundred kilos while adhering to a scenography down to the millimeter: this was the mission masterfully executed by the entire Louvre team, with the assistance of the installers from Chenue and LP Art. The two curators describe the main installation operations carried out on the major works in this exhibition, which you can discover from April 15 at the Louvre Museum. With the exceptional participation of @museerodinparis

Join Carmen Bambach, Marica F. and Jan T. Vilcek Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints, and Daniel Kershaw, Exhibition Design Manager, and Caroline Elenowitz-Hess, Research Associate, to virtually explore Raphael: Sublime Poetry, on view at The Met from March 29 through June 28, 2026. Dive into the artistic process of one of history's most beloved and influential artists. A true titan of the Italian Renaissance, Raffaello di Giovanni Santi (1483–1520)—better known as Raphael—matched ambition with lyricism to create works with both intellectual heft and emotional depth, a necessary skill in the complex political landscape of Renaissance courts. In his short life of only 37 years, he achieved such profound success as a painter, designer, and architect that he was regarded as the pinnacle of artistic perfection for centuries after his death. Raphael: Sublime Poetry is the first comprehensive exhibition on Raphael in the United States, bringing together more than 170 of the ...

  OC Folks! You are invited to an artist talk at the marvelous group exhibition "Love Is All You Need" at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 6:00 pm. I will be chatting about my painting "Pirates" Gallery open until 10:00 pm. Curator William Moreno Gregg Chadwick Pirates 24"x18" oil on paper 2025 Notes on “Pirates” In my oil on blue prepared paper painting "Pirates", it is April in Paris. At a café in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a couple lock eyes in a knowing glance like pirates preparing a raid. Co-conspirators in the game of love. In "Pirates" I have created a surface where "ghosts of earlier ideas" remain which invites the viewer into a non-linear experience of time. In the wake of the 2025 fires, "Pirates" offers a narrative of resilience, community, and the enduring power of love—agape, familiar, and platonic—reminding the viewer that "art is a beautiful and necessary ...

Frieze Week LA continues as my oil on linen painting "Path of Compassion (Kristine Schomaker in the Guise of the Bodhisattva Tārā)" is featured in the @perceivemeart  Room 203 at the  @thekinneyvenicebeach . Friday, Feb 27: 5-7PM (VIP), 7-10PM (All Access). Saturday, Feb 28: 12-9PM. Sunday, March 1: 12-7PM. Tickets: Available at https://www.startup-art.com/los-angeles My artwork was inspired by the 8th–9th century Sri Lankan sculpture of Tārā housed in the British Museum in London. The painting serves as a bridge between the ancient religious traditions of the Global South and the urban reality of modern Los Angeles. By placing Schomaker—as part of her "Perceive Me" project—within this divine iconography, my painting engages with a broader cultural movement toward authenticity, vulnerability, and the reclamation of the human hand in an era of technological acceleration. Schomaker’s own practice sits at the "intersection of personal healing and collective li...

  Gregg Chadwick Arrivals and Departures 48"x36" oil on linen 2015-2026 Featured in Under One Roof at the Propeller Gallery, Santa Monica Airport Arts Center  Studios 3026, Santa Monica, CA 90405 We Are All Under One Roof Opening Sunday, February 22nd in the Propeller Gallery at the Santa Monica Airport Arts Center- Studios 3026! On June 26, 2015 Marriage Equality became the law of the land and with hundreds of others we celebrated on the Supreme Court steps. Later on that glorious day, I chatted with President Obama's photographer Pete Souza in front of the White House which was lit up in rainbow colors in celebration of the LGBTQ community. While we watched, the Presidential Marine Corps unit returned with President Obama from his moving speech at the memorial service for the church folks who were gunned down by a young white supremacist in South Carolina. President Obama sang "Amazing Grace" that day. In her Netflix film "Becoming", Michelle Obama r...
