On a quiet evening in a sheltered grove, a mythic figure stands in contemplation. In Greek mythology, the naiads ναϊάδες, are female spirits or nymphs that preside over springs, streams, and sources of water. The characters found in classical stories often provide clues to human behavior that have enlightened us for thousands of years. I often wander through art museums soaking up the narratives found in carved stone and painted canvas. On one such journey to the Getty Museum in Malibu, California, I accompanied art writer and student of the mythos Alex Eliot. Alex had been the lead art critic for Time magazine in the 1950's where he met and wrote about Matisse, Picasso, and Dali. All three artists were steeped in the classical tradition and mythic themes often appeared in their work. My oil on linen painting "Indigo Night" is an homage to Alex Eliot and the world of myth and memory.

GREGG CHADWICK creates his artwork in an old airplane hangar in Santa Monica, California. The recurring sound of airplane take-offs and landings from the active airport runway outside his studio reminds him of his own history of travel.

Chadwick has had notable solo exhibitions at the Manifesta Maastricht Gallery (Maastricht, The Netherlands), Space AD 2000 (Tokyo, Japan), the Lisa Coscino Gallery (Pacific Grove, CA), the Julie Nester Gallery (Park City, Utah), the Sandra Lee Gallery (San Francisco), and Audis Husar Fine Arts (Los Angeles) among others.
