Tom White

Resumen

Tom White’s work revolves around the question of how the artist creates something more viscerally real than a mimetic, photorealistic representation of a person. His practice is rooted in a long-standing fascination with people and painting the figure; specifically, White is interested in how the artist captures an essence of the subject, and the phenomenological presence of sensation in painting.

 

White paints those who are closest to him, marking his works with an indelible emotionality that transports the viewer into the interior of a private moment in time. The paintings allude to an ephemeral narrative; they invite interpretation of and engagement with exactly who, what and where is being depicted.

 

Whether working on a large or smaller scale, the figures in White’s paintings are often greater than life-size. This scale lends itself to his painting process which harmonises expressive, gestural marks with more refined areas of painterly precision. Working from his own photographs he exploits the versatility of oil paint as a medium, balancing areas of thinly veiled brushwork with impasto marks to create an emphatic sense of mood and lighting.
