The Golden Hour - Venezia

 


Gregg Chadwick

The Golden Hour - Venezia

30"x24" oil on linen 2023


Do you cherish a city or place that takes your breath away? For me, Venice, Italy has been a world of wonder since I first visited. My oil on linen painting "The Golden Hour" was inspired by my time over the years in the magical city of Venice. Poised between sea and land, Venice is a place where light, shade, color, and reflection merge and recombine in a watery environment. In this mirrored world, past and present seem to coexist.History's shadows slide in and out of darkened alleys.

The color and light found in the artworks of the Venetian painters Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, and Tiepolo, seen up close in the city of their creation, have been revelatory for me.

Their works glow like light upon water. This effect of reflected, sparkling light bouncing off canals, is called gibigiane in Venetian dialect. The liquid nature of transparent oils glowing from within, as if light lived within the pigment, captures me. I continue to study and adapt Venetian painting techniques in my paintings.

See this painting and more in my studio at Art at the Airport on September 30, 2023 from 5-9pm.

You Are Cordially Invited to Gregg Chadwick's October Events and Exhibitions!

Please Join Me This Upcoming Weekend as I Open My Studio
at the 12th Anniversary of the Santa Monica Art Studios. 




In my twelve years at the Santa Monica Art Studios my artwork has been included in more than 70 exhibitions worldwide, 
including numerous community oriented benefit auctions.

I often open up my studio to visiting students, community members, scholars, and international guests. 
These visitors to my studio have included a bus load of Japanese Nursing Students from Tokyo, 
a visiting group of academics from the University of Verona in Italy, 
professional art restorers from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Getty Museum, 
an art meditation session with art writer Peter Clothier, 
as well as numerous visits by Santa Monica students interested in the arts and culture. 
Last year a group of around twenty young adults impacted by AIDS gathered in my studio and other studios for a moving exploration of art and personal expression. 
Also on July 8, 2015 we gathered as a community at the Santa Monica Art Studios to celebrate the life 
and mourn the passing of Olaf Pooley - actor, painter, centenarian, Santa Monica Art Studios Artist. 

At the Santa Monica Art Studios, I am part of a community of artists - driven to create, share knowledge and experience, and help the community at large. 

I would be honored to have you join the long list of visitors to my studio #15 at the Santa Monica Art Studios.

Hope to see you soon!
