Description

Lonney Whites investigations into the properties of natural materials compliment his organic work ethic. White invents a unique aesthetic vocabulary through his interests in depth, composition, texture and the us of light White says “ I try not force the materials to do something they would have an aversion to, I want the material to react as it would naturally” Beyond material investigations, White’s work resides within the post-conceptual resurgence of painting in contemporary art. White’s wax encaustics emerge from the postmodern assault on the picture plane; distinct varieties of wax melt, converge and combine in multitudinous textured formations. What was once three-dimensional attempts to become two-dimensional, yet remains lost in a dual state of ascension and descent. White’s paintings not only test the limits of contemporary mark-making, but also question their very status as image-objects.
