About The Artwork
"The Greatest of Wanderers" is my latest elephant inspired painting and will be exhibited for the first time and available for sale at Saatchi Art's The Other Art Fair Los Angeles at Barker Hangar from September 23-26, 2021. "The Greatest of Wanderers" was inspired by the efforts of the Sheldrick Trust as they strive to create a world that believes all elephants deserve to roam wild and free, safe from harm. I first became aware of the fragile nature of our planet as an elementary school student. For Christmas one year, I asked my parents for the book “Wildlife in Danger” published by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) They are still an important organization providing information, plans, and hope for our endangered earth. Worried about the environment as a kid, I drew pictures of animals constantly. Now I am bringing out a series of paintings, to be exhibited at The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles at Barker Hangar in September 2021, that shed light on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and our place with other species. Honored that "The Greatest of Wanderers"was chosen in the BEST OF FAIR: The Other Art Fair Los Angeles (September 2021) Collection by Nicole Garton - Fair Director https://www.saatchiart.com/art-collection/BEST-OF-FAIR-The-Other-Art-Fair-Los-Angeles-September-2021/320013/631649/view Notes on Technique: Ghosts of earlier ideas appear within my artworks and combine with other transparent moments to create a semblance of movement, of time passing. I build a combination of shadow and illumination in each painting to create a sensation of light emanating from the work. I work with oil paint and usually create at least one color in each painting from ground pigments mixed by hand with linseed oil. Linseed oil has the propensity to grow more transparent with age and visible traces of earlier painted marks gradually appear because of this tendency — called pentimenti. I embrace this eventual outcome in my work and incorporate planned and unplanned pentimenti in my process.

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.
