  Gregg Chadwick The Color of Time 48"x48" oil on linen 2025 New Paintings by Gregg Chadwick “Story is our only boat for sailing on the river of time.” - Ursula K. Le Guin "Your mind is more free. It can think, and is in the present. It can remember, and at once is in the past. It can imagine, and at once is in the future, in its own choice of all the possible futures.Your mind can travel through time!." - Eric Frank Russell "I find myself drawn to artworks, architectural spaces, and transportation devices that meld the past and present. While living in San Francisco, I lived a few blocks from the Main Library and watched as architect Gae Aulenti transformed the Beaux Arts building into the Asian Art Museum. Aulenti referred to the mix of past and present in her architectural renovations as a 'double ambiguity.' With sketchbook and camera in hand, I roam spaces that carry this double ambiguity- sketching details, pulling visual moments, and jotting down...

  Gregg Chadwick Through Tibetan Eyes 72"x96" oil on linen 2006-2024 "In old Arabic poetry love, song, blood and travel appear as four basic desires of the human heart and the only effective means against our fear of death. Thus travel is elevated to the dignity of the elementary needs of humankind." - Czeslaw Milosz on the poetry of travel Movement, travel and pilgrimage are themes that often appear in my paintings. Travel can involve a physical relocation or it can exist in the realm of the senses. In 2006 I attended "A Gathering of Hearts Illuminating Compassion," an interfaith meeting in San Francisco. The Dalai Lama was the keynote speaker at the event. He entered the packed hall, briskly moved up the center aisle, but stopped briefly to greet an elderly Tibetan woman a few feet from where I was seated. Then the Dalai Lama suddenly spun around and, with a beatific smile, gazed deeply and directly into my eyes. I was transfixed. The moment was short, ...

Gregg Chadwick The Bicycle Rider - Verona (Il Ciclista) 40"x30" oil on linen 2024 Back in the studio after a sojourn to Pebble Beach, California. Just put the finishing touches on my latest painting. My oil on linen artwork "The Bicycle Rider - Verona (Il Ciclista)" is set in the city center of Verona, Italy. Inspired by an art residency I had in this magical city, "The Bicycle Rider" celebrates the beauty and mystery of contemporary life. As day moves to night, a red headed woman stands tall near her bicycle in the Piazza delle Erbe, the ancient Roman forum of Verona. Has her journey ended or just started?
