ERIC WHITE

Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA (US)

Eric White’s paintings reference 20th century film, music and pop culture backed by consummate draftsmanship and painterly finesse to subvert and recode the dominant narratives of contemporary society. White’s paintings are constructed from elements of our collective consciousness, overflowing with an entropic visual overload.

Whether expressed blatantly or in a subtler manner, his work taps into those realities and dimensions that exist beyond the fringe of our perception. White found a way to celebrate the sounds he treasures by re-imagining the album covers of his favorite rock and pop musicians. Although the record cover is the point of departure, the artist takes the opportunity to explore a variety of painting styles, puns, and parodies.

White’s work has been featured in exhibitions in museums including the Laguna Art Museum, CA (US), The Long Beach Museum of Art,

Los Angeles, CA (US), Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico City (MX), De Bond Museum,Brussels (BE), MACRO Museum,Rome (IT), and The American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore, MD (US). His work has also been exhibited in galleries around the world including Copenhagen (DK), Brussels (BE), New York, NY (US), Miami, Fl (US), Hamburg (DE), Los Angeles, CA (US) and Paris (FR).
