ERIC WHITE
ERIC WHITE was born in 1968 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He currently lives and works between Los Angeles and New York.
His works, which blend elements of 20th-century cinema, music, and pop culture, are characterized by an exceptional sense of drawing and remarkable painterly skill, which he uses to subvert and rework the dominant narratives of contemporary society. His paintings often explore dimensions beyond ordinary perception, coming across as both beautiful and disturbing.
White received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1990 and taught as an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York from 2006 to 2013. In 2010 he received a painting fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. His works have been exhibited in such prestigious museums as the Laguna Art Museum in California, the Long Beach Museum of Art, Museo de la Ciudad de México, MACRO in Rome, and the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.
In addition to exhibitions in public institutions, Eric White has exhibited in numerous international private spaces, including Gladstone Gallery and Deitch Projects in New York, and Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea in Milan. A significant moment in his career was in 2009, when he participated in “STAGES,” a contemporary art exhibition organized by Lance Armstrong and Nike for charity.
White also designed the cover of Tyler, the Creator’s “Flower Boy” album in 2017, demonstrating his ability to integrate visual art and music culture.
