    Chase Langford has invented a distinctive visual language that is grounded in the natural and built environment while embarking into uncharted territory. His impactful depictions recall maps and aerial photography of sea coasts, mountains, farmland and cities through a calculated execution and highly refined draftsmanship.
    Just as the West Coast Abstract Expressionists (1940 to 1970) found California’s striking landscape fertile ground, so does Langford as he draws upon his geographic environs both near and far.
    Through his cartographic mastery, Langford contorts and synthesizes geographic elements, bringing forth paintings that are mysteriously familiar yet surprisingly unconventional. They challenge conventions of geography and landscapes, offering invigorating visions of space and place that transcend any specific locale, leading us to an exhilarating emotional experience.
    Chase Langford is represented by galleries in: Seattle, Napa Valley, Healdsburg, Dallas, Maui, and Martha's Vineyard. His studio is in Cathedral City, CA near Palm Springs. (former Los Angeles studio shown in this video)
    Chase Langford's paintings have been widely shown at one-person and group exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York City, Washington DC, Montreal, Palo Alto, Las Vegas, Long Beach, Napa Valley, Seattle, Dallas, Toronto and Palm Springs and included many corporate/public collections (often site specific commissions) such as Long Beach Musuem of Art, Keck School of Medicine at USC, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, Star City in Sydney, Australia, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Monique Lhuillier, Inc., Caesar’s Palace, Dykema Grossett LLP, Sidley Austin LLP, Cohen & Lord, Meacham Oppenheimer, Inc., UBS, Nordstrom and Park Hyatt Aviara. He is in private collections in North America, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia. Also in the private collections of Magic Johnson and the Saudi Royal Family.

      Hi Zoe, I'm in total agreement with your comments. I LOVE Chases' considered and deliberate approach to his studio layout. I am, alas, so indolent and disorganised I could never accomplish. Quindi, I'm sure we both would/could develop further in our creativity by following his example. May I recommend researching a couple of vid. to you which may help your studio success; the English artists : F. Bacon and L Freud!

    Update -- I really don't paint only with natural light anymore. I think that was a bit of a "purest" or "romantic" idea. I now use a combo of natural and artificial light so I have more consistent light throughout the day.

      Great video, really enjoyed it. My studio is a fifth of yours I think, but I'm not complaining -- I've spent years painting from my kitchen! My biggest struggle at the moment is that I paint in a variety of media -- watercolours, acrylics, alcohol inks, acrylic inks and oils. I'd love to have a different station for each media (one day!!) but my studio is tiny. I find it gets messy and chaotic very quickly because of this problem, all the different media falling over each other. And a chaotic space leads to a chaotic mind, at least in my case. And yes, I also have an ironing board and bookshelf in my studio, as well as lots of textiles paraphernalia for when I was a creative embroidery student! Goodness, its sounding worse and worse as I type! I need an interior designer to help me out I think!

    I am redoing the insulation and drywall in my studio, which means I had to move out completely. So now I get to re-think the lighting and what I’m going to bring back in. I really appreciate your tips! It never occurred to me to go all white. I’m going to have to ponder that one. I have wheels on almost everything. I love having rolling carts filled with different types of supplies so I can roll them up to my work area, depending on what I’m doing at the time. One is all of my colored pencils and current sketchbooks, for example. IKEA used to sell the best little clip on lights with really long cords. I’m glad I stocked up because I can’t find them anymore. So useful. And I’m going to create a book from my art. Great idea. Shutterfly often has discounts on little photo books.

    Hey Chase, I’m a full time artist from New York City for 10 years now and in the city it is such a luxury to have some space to work with, to have high ceilings that sometimes I have to mix everything together like personal/art/office all in one space and sometimes it’s just a mess and it is such a relief to see that it’s possible to have all of these things organized and separated to actually have a view of the mountains to actually have a storage nearby and to have a natural light . I know that being a painter is a crazy ton of work and you go through evolutions of the work space. Thank you so much for spending your time to share your amazing studio it is extremely well organized !!

    Very practical and informative. I am 75 and have never really ever had a studio for my art. I am currently retired and living in Estonia, converting our old barn into my studio. My wife will be retiring next year and I have to move my art out of the house in order to escape the vacuum cleaner. Your tips and comments have been a big help. I attended the San Francisco Art Institute back in 1969 after serving as an officer in the US Special Forces, From Green Beret to Hippy! then I attended the Art Students League in NYC for a while and then graduated from Monmouth University with a double BA degree in Art and Literature. The problem was, because of LSD, California Red Mountain Vin Rose, pot, and amphetamines, I remember almost nothing from all those years. I have been relearning my artwork and your nuts and bolts approach is refreshing. Thanks again

    Hi, thanks for all of the tips! When it comes to easels, since I’m currently looking for one, I wonder if you might know how much of the extra width of the canvas or panel can stick out from the sides when placed on the easel, without it losing its grip. The easel I have in mind is the Mabef M07, a medium easel, which has a canvas holder of about 60 centimeters long. I wonder if it can take canvases or panels almost twice its size in width. Thank you!

      @@cliffdariff74 in a way that's exactly what I tried to say by saying there is an emptiness. of course there are marvelous things out there in life that can fill our souls and they do it, for sure. Maybe you got confused because of the use of the word "sadly", no sadness in this regard, I used the word as an intensifier. I just tried to say that, in my mind, (I'm not an erudite) there is a kind of vacuum, existential emptiness I feel personally on life and has nothing to do with depression or anything like that, but for a strange reason (again, not from an erudite) art... Art suits perfectly and can take a life to plenitude. Of course we have to feel relatively ok about our lives in general before expecting art, or anything alike for that matter, to give us a purpose.

    Thank you, Chase. Though I’ve been painting for years, we just moved into a house that provides a dedicated studio space. (about 500 sq feet!) Your thoughts have been really helpful. My challenge is budgeting for flat files. :)

    Oh Chase, you did a fine job with this tour - I felt as if I was in the room with you and you were talking to me like a good friend! In a few months, after my roommate leaves, I plan to transfer my small corner art studio (currently in my bedroom) into the second master suite. I’m so excited because now I will have most everything in one bigger room with good lighting and a bathroom!

    Laweez N stated almost my exact thoughts. I was impacted positively by your presentation in this video (and the others I watched after this one). Your words (tone, volume, inflection, and intent) are smiling, even if you are not outwardly doing so. Your kind spirit shines through as you speak! :) I get a sense that you are a very empathic person, and I wish the world were full of more people like this. Your studio is wonderful, and your art is very beautiful! The surrounding landscape must be very inspiring. I would love to see more videos - maybe on what inspires you toward a particular painting or series. Thank you! :)

    • @ChaseLangfordArtist
      @ChaseLangfordArtist  5 років тому +1

      Wow, those are such kind and flattering words! thank you. In May I'm doing another "artist tips" sort of video which will be the last of that sort. But following that, probably released in summer, will be a serious high production value film about my art, inspiration and much more. stay tuned and until then hugs to you.

    This is such a well organised and well thought out studio. I have difficulty with the business end of things keeping people organised document sales and that sort of thing I would love to see a more intensive video on that area of your business. I do have another question why do you put five layers of paint before you begin painting.

    • @ChaseLangfordArtist
      @ChaseLangfordArtist  5 років тому +1

      I apply many layers of gesso to build up the richness of the paint surface. Then many layers of oil paint as I paint and repaint and then repaint some more to get to the final work. For my art I don't want a thinly painted or quickly executed piece. My paintings evolve over time and need a really good foundation of gesso. I hope that answers your question. As far as record keeping I am methodical and record every relevant detail.

    @jennyhughes4474 5 років тому +4

    Thank you for this, I really like your all-white, I'd like that too - and good light, plus I need QUIET: I live in a rented place too near centre of town with no noise (or temperature) insulation and it's exhausting hearing neighbours, road works, everyone's garden work, plumbing, cars & trucks, shouting, I live in France so men playing boules too CLACK-CLACK - sometimes until 1a.m. ... Huge admiration for the things you've made or changed and wheels = yes, so long as they don't move too easily just by nudging/using them. I love your work and it's really interesting to see your studio = thank you very much, I'm so envious of it: mine is chaos and because of my brain injury I can't organise it properly!

    • @ChaseLangfordArtist
      @ChaseLangfordArtist  5 років тому +3

      Hi Jenny. My gosh your place sounds challenging. Can you play some soft music to help distract from the mayhem outside? You can get wheels that have a locking mechanism to keep them fixed in place when you desire. Best wishes to you.

    • @wwcreations1
      @wwcreations1 5 років тому +2

      May I suggest ear plugs or wifi headphones...I found that I got used to the earplugs quickly. Once I'm in the zone, I don't notice them. I used to have to use the earplugs because I lived in a busy household.

    • @jennyhughes4474
      @jennyhughes4474 5 років тому

      ​@@wwcreations1 thank you for your reply. I use earplugs every night (they hurt my ears = maybe I need expensive moulded-to-my-ears ones?) but can still hear way too much: since my brain injury my hearing has become very acute. My head is super-sensitive too (and injured neck) and I think I'd have big trouble wearing headphones and would feel cut off in case there was something I needed to hear like the telephone. But I'm glad they work for you, personally I really need to live in a noise & temperature-insulated flat (the walls+ here aren't built properly and temperature varies between 6C and 33C!) and in a quiet area.

    I admire that you augmented your easels, though making your own would have been more economical and you'd have gotten a better easel :) Nearly every easel I have seen, (commercial production made easels) has been very much made for non-professional home based artist, and is best used for paintings less than 24x48"... not very industrial or solid with larger formats.

    • @ChaseLangfordArtist
      @ChaseLangfordArtist  3 роки тому +1

      I think they were pretty good to start with but I wanted to customize. I think it is in the nature of artists to have very specific needs.
