Referencing the metaphorical layers of an onion, Carl White’s newest body of work shifted focus to creating art in a time of great change as well as how he is taking on the role of an artist during such a vastly transitional time in history. Never one to shy away from larger philosophical themes in his creative practice, this body of work unabashedly lures the viewer into a visual meditation. Drawing from the symbolism of Hokusai’s “Great Wave,” the spirituality of the colour blue and transcendental power of art, Carl endeavours to create artwork that owes much to history but with his own characteristic style and contemporary handling of materials.
Carl White was born in Liverpool (UK) and studied painting, drawing and graphic design at the Alberta College of Art and Design (now AUArts) in Calgary. Known for his contemporary take on classical or Romantic subjects and techniques, White’s work has been widely exhibited and collected both nationally and internationally for over twenty years, including The Whyte Museum of the Rockies in Banff in 2019 and an upcoming show at the Art Gallery of Grand Prairie in spring 2021. He currently lives and works in Calgary where he is exceedingly active in the art community.
