Anthony Wilkinson is pleased to announce James White’s solo exhibition ‘Every Corner Abandoned Too Soon’. The exhibition consists of smaller scale paintings dated 2020 – 2024 including a number of works made during lockdown. James White is well known for his highly detailed paintings of incidental moments / observations of his immediate enviroment and when travelling. Whether a glass on a mirror topped counter, a plant on a bathroom windowsill, a bunch of coat hangers strewn on the floor, or reflections in bathroom mirrors White’s paintings transform ordinary scenes into evocative narratives filled with suspense and ambiguity. His meticulous attention to detail and deliberate minimalism create a structured emptiness that invites viewers to explore the unspoken stories and emotions embedded within these ephemeral moments.
Derived from photographs and painted in a highly contrasted monochrome palette - his object-based works (always presented within perspex box frames), function as stills of life, that capture the transient beauty and imagery of everyday life - the subtle, often overlooked details that shape our daily experiences.
James White studied Fine Art at Wimbledon College of Art (1986-1989) and Royal College of Art, London (1989-1991). He has shown extensively in Europe and USA with solo exhibitions at Sean Kelly Gallery, New York, Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne, Galerie Greta Meert, Brussels, Belgium, and Blain Southern, London. White lives and works in London.
