- Eric
White is an artist (he prefers to be called a human being) whose hyper-anal
paintings aim to: a) brazenly manifest the New Paradigm; b) induce
a state of mild psychosis in the viewer, through the mutation of human
forms and the misuse of pop iconography; c) cause of few group hugs.
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1968, White has excelled in both the
commercial and gallery circuit, his undergroud notoriety propelling
him all the way to his slot as featured artist on Leonardo DiCaprio's
web site. (HA!) His imagery, severely distorted, acute, and fully
rendered, is wrought almost exclusively in acrylic on canvas, and
strives for coherent abstraction through specificity. The result is
a paranoid and erotic socio-political satire in the form of engaging,
albeit disturbing, paintings. The subject matter is usually lurid,
the compositions are always striking and the technique is super refined
and magnificent. Eric White, who some fan recently called the "Anti-Norman
Rockwell", is one of our most successful and most appreciated
artists. We are excited and proud to announce his second solo show
with La Luz de Jesus Gallery, where his unique brand of melted realism
explores issues probably better left to psychotherapy.
