Richard White Artist Bio & Statement
“I’m not lost, I’m exploring”
"My background and formal training was in drawing, printmaking, and poetry. These traditions are extended in my current work in the way each piece suggests stories, characters and emotional states as points of connection with the viewer. With each work, I try to stretch and explore beyond the range of my palette and vocabulary, beyond my conscious intention. So, yes, at times, I do feel a bit lost along the way. That said, I try to create and find images that resonate on emotional and intellectual levels.
I want to challenge, engage and reward the viewer from across the room, and up close to the surface. A successful work, for me, engages the viewer in a dialog.
Since I began this journey, I have worked with ink, graphite, silkscreen, film, letterset printing, wood and linoleum engraving, and acrylic and oil paint. In the past five years, I have focused on painting with oil, exploring techniques for mixing, applying and manipulating oil and pigment on the surface. I often incorporate additional materials such as graphite, India ink, and printers ink, and techniques such as silkscreen, using the materials and techniques in non-traditional ways, in service of the image."
