Happy Birthday to Jean Honoré Fragonard!
by Gregg Chadwick Happy Birthday to Jean Honoré Fragonard, born on this day in 1732. http:// met.org/1NH0QHX Nat. Gallery of Art I have loved this painting since I first viewed it at the National Gallery in Washington, DC as a young art student. Fragonard's rapid brushwork seems to capture the energy of this young woman's thoughts as she ventures into the realm of the mind. And for me, her rich yellow dress with the alizarin violet bow brings forth the colors of Spring. Jean Honoré Fragonard French, 1732 - 1806 Young Girl Reading c. 1770 oil on canvas overall : 81.1 x 64.8 cm (31 15/16 x 25 1/2 in.) framed : 104.9 x 89.5 x 2.2 cm (41 5/16 x 35 1/4 x 7/8 in.) Gift of Mrs. Mellon Bruce in memory of her father, Andrew W. Mellon
Velázquez at the Grand Palais in Paris from March 15 to July 13, 2015
For me, exhibitions devoted to the paintings of the Spanish artist Diego Velázquez always evoke a sense of wonder and possibility. Velázquez' paintings hold me spellbound. I will be in Verona, Italy in May and will find my way to Paris for sure. Perhaps a rendezvous with the esteemed restorer from the Van Gogh Museum - René Boitelle ? An exhibition produced jointly by the RMN-Grand Palais and the Musée du Louvre, in collaboration with the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

Oracle of Milan
by Gregg Chadwick Oracle of Milan 40"x30" oil on linen 2014 Oracle of Milan is the first in an upcoming series of time lapse videos that document the stages and alterations inherit in my painting process. The first impression is key in the formation of an artwork and the opening frames of the video show that something dynamic is present in this new painting. I allow the painting to speak to me with visual clues that lead to new paths. Oracle of Milan was begun in June 2013. Over the past year, I have added and subtracted figures, colors, and elements to arrive at the last frames of the video which show the painting today. Is it finished? Is anything ever finished? Only time will tell. The video is backed by The National's haunting song England, which has been on a National heavy playlist that has played throughout my painting sessions for Oracle of Milan .
Valentine's Day
Gregg Chadwick The Golden Hour 10"x8" oil on panel 2014 Happy Valentine's Day! I thought I would feature a new painting and Bruce Springsteen's haunting version of his song For You to honor lovers across the globe.
Deerhead Diner
by Gregg Chadwick Gregg Chadwick Deerhead Diner 24”x36” oil on linen 2014 Like a scene pulled from a Scorsese film or lifted from a Sopranos’ episode, my painting “Deerhead Diner” evokes an American scene of tough guys and two bit joints. Inspired by an actual diner I would visit in Queens near LaGuardia airport, “Deerhead Diner” depicts a timeless yet vanishing world.

La Vita Trasparente (The Transparent Life)
Gregg Chadwick La Vita Trasparente (The Transparent Life) 48"x36" oil on linen 2012 Inspired by the poem La Vita Trasparente by Luigi Fontanella: LA VITA TRASPARENTE Luigi Fontanella Apre la città le sue strade, corrono biciclette senza persone, alla finestra s'affaccia e sparisce un volto di donna, le vetrine offrono sessi per ogni stagione, giro di vite: balla una coppia agile e magra nella piazza deserta, la corsa degli uomini, agita chiome il bosco in controluce, passi su foglie e solchi di fango duro, viale d'autunno carrozza regale pioggia di rugiada e di carta: la vita trasparente. The Transparent Life by Luigi Fontanella (translation by W.S. di Piero) the city opens its streets, bicycles go by riderless, a woman's face in a window appears then vanishes, shop windows offer fetishes for every season, lives turning, a slender agile couple dances in the deserted piazza, the race men run, the hairy woods shivering...
