Artist Statement
In recent years I have wandered back and forth across the line between what might be considered “abstract” and “representational” idioms. I don’t make a clear distinction myself, I try to get fresh ideas about content, composition and color from observation, and evoke similar space, form and light when the subject is perhaps less clear in my more formal, more abstract pieces. I consider abstract painting to be another form of realism, and try to bring formal concepts from modernism into my more realist work. —Christian White
