"Evolving Visions - Santa Fe to L.A."Mark White & Ethan White "Evolving Visions - Santa Fe to L.A." July 13th through August 5th Artist Reception: Friday, July 13th from 5-8pm This is an exciting father and son show and both artists will be here for the reception. Mark White Show Statement 2012 My first memory of drawing or painting was outdoors was when I was eighteen years old. Forty five years later, I still prefer to study and paint the world directly. The world is constantly evolving and I try to keep evolving my vision of that world. These recent paintings using oil paint on canvas reflect that evolution. Ethan White Show Statement 2012 For me, creation is a way to contemplate and understand. I am currently using my work to reflect on three distinct, individual ideas as well as their confluence. Idea One: The measuring of success in any field by the achievement of "celebrity" status. The relationship between "perceived success" and personal satisfaction or sense of self (identity). Idea Two: The over arcing influence of a grand vista. How a magnificent view of the ocean anchors us, keeps us returning to ask the questions that matter and gives us the ability to look at the bigger picture. Idea Three: Movement or even implied movement creates a 4th and 5th dimension. Movement creates time and indicates intention or integrity in an expression. I am looking to express these ideas individually as well as the confluence of two or three ideas through my visual art, as well as through a dance theater piece which I am co-creating with my wife Nikki White. The performance "Before Romeo" explores how the heroine overcomes the dysfunctional relationships that she has sought as a result of the influence that contemporary American celebrity culture has exerted on her identity and the qualities she seeks in a partner. | July 13, 2012 - August 5, 2012 |
