Chris White Fine Art

Structure and disorder. Observation and action. The harmony of opposites. These heartfelt and spiritual explorations drive and guide my creative/human process. I am drawn to concrete, rusted metal, rocks, and street art. I love the art that nature creates. From time and exposure, the very soul of an element is revealed. My paintings strive to emulate this natural occurrence in an attempt to explor

e the relationship between nature and myself. I am ever fascinated by the argument and agreement between an idea and the outcome. I work primarily with latex paint and encaustic, which is a wonderful combination of natural beeswax, tree resin and pure pigment. All of my paintings are done on wooden panels that I make myself. I finish most of my paintings with a coat of epoxy resin, which I then sand and wax to give the surface a lustrous, matte finish. I am originally from Los Angeles and had a career in the film industry for many years before moving to Austin, Texas. I am a self-taught artist and my process, like so many other artist's, is unconventional. I devote my time to painting, spiritual self-discovery, yoga, and spending time with my beloved fur babies Jack, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and my Great Dane Nikki, whose sweet mug graces my homepage.
