The War On Drugs' fifth studio album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore , is an uncommon rock album about one of our most common but daunting processes—resilience in the face of despair. Set for release on October 29, 2021. I'll be painting on Friday with I Don’t Live Here Anymore filling my headphones as I put brush to canvas. Can't wait...

We'll understand the US better if we better understand how American artists extended their ideologies in their pictures. (We'll understand even more if we understand that Ralph Waldo Emerson told them how.) https://t.co/FyT8eeVJUx — Tyler Green (@TylerGreenBooks) October 6, 2021 From the Publisher: Illustrated by classic American paintings and photographs, and accompanied with a prescient new appraisal, this stunning publication on Emerson’s seminal 1836 essay is at once a meditation on the ways artists influence each other and a timely  cri de coeur  to cherish and preserve America’s landscape.

Gregg Chadwick The Painter of the World (   Seol-min)   12"x9"oil on panel 2021 At the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco a few years ago, I watched the Korean Buddhist Nun artist Seol-min paint a gorgeous artwork of the Water Moon Avalokiteshvara, also known as Guanyin. Her canvas was laid flat on the floor and she painted on top of it as if she was bodysurfing a gentle wave with brushes in hand. The large hall where Seol-min painted was quiet. The gentle sound of her brushes created a kind of music that echoed off the marble walls. My oil on panel painting "The Painter of the World" is my latest artwork inspired by this experience with the artist Seol-min. The Asian Art Museum has created a video of Seol-min at the museum. I am in the background, off camera, watching the events. Video Below.

  Gregg Chadwick Monk Station 30"x30"oil on linen 2020 "Move towards the light", a friend said to me as we wandered the streets of Montreal on a crisp spring afternoon. My painting "Monk Station" is inspired by that day and depicts a saffron robed pilgrim in a 21st century urban moment. The monk is moving towards the light. Set in a subway station in Montreal, this painting looks at the place of the spirit in our fast paced lives. Honored that "Monk Station" was curated into Los Angeles Latest Collections by Briana Salatino, Fair Assistant at The Other Art Fair: https://www.saatchiart.com/art-collection/photography-painting-sculpture-drawing-new-media-collage/New-Originals-for-2000-Under-Week-of-Sept-27/1093891/631397/view Direct Link at  https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Monk-Station/25560/7473981/view Thanks again to everyone who enjoyed my paintings at  @theotherartfair #theotherartfair   #theotherartfairla   #art   #artshow   #la   #los...

  Gregg Chadwick Frida Kahlo 10"x10"oil on cigar box 2021 Private Collection Los Angeles My oil on wood cigar box painting of Frida Kahlo is the latest in a series of artworks that amplifies the shared culture between Mexico and the United States. Frida was a dynamo. Her artworks explore the realms of myth, memory, and physical reality in groundbreaking ways. My latest portrait of Frida is an homage to her work and influence. My painting imagines Frida when she lived in San Francisco. In 1930-31 Frida and Diego Rivera lived at 716 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, just down the hill from North Beach and Chinatown. Frida met and created with a group of artists who energized her creative process. KQED notes that "For six months, the couple stayed at the studio of Rivera’s old classmate and friend, sculptor Ralph Stackpole, who introduced them to an eclectic group of writers, painters and photographers." For a number of years, I lived in San Francisco at the corner o...

  Gregg Chadwick Tax the Rich 12"x9"oil on panel 2021 Congressional Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez created headlines around the globe with her Tax the Rich Dress worn at the 2021 Met Gala. The socially provocative dress was designed by Aurora James who said in the New York Times: Listen, it would be a lot easier to go to the Met Gala and just wear a really beautiful dress and look really beautiful and have a good time. But that was not her intention, right? Her intention was to take a conversation that’s largely existing in working-class communities and bring it into rooms where that conversation might be a little bit more uncomfortable. It’s not easy to show up in a room like that, with a statement like that. There’s a lot of people who gain access to rooms like that and are too afraid to rock the boat." My painting celebrates AOC, Aurora James, and everyone rocking the boat. Thanks to everyone who commented on and enjoyed the painting at  @theotherartfair #t...
