Bill White

Artist Statement:
I paint from observation because I need to wrestle with choices outside of my own imagination.  The visible world provides my raw material for making an image and I select and emphasize how to give it form. I value familiar objects and places because they seem so different and surprising when you look intensely beyond their mere identity.  Tone provides graphic structure to the composition and color provides the vitality, making the sense of light and space appear.  Intuition and the paint itself guide much of my response during the intense flurry of activity while painting, yet the paintings are revised and reconsidered all along the way—where the means and the end become one.

Bill will be a featured artist in The Market Gallery, May 1 - May 30, 2012.  The Opening reception will be ArtByNight, Friday May 4, 2012 from 5pm-9pm.
