b.1976 Born Sydney Australia Lives and works in Paris. For Anthony White living in France amongst different cultures naturally leads to working across various artistic disciplines and referencing different cultural movements. By merging contemporary forms of urban landscape and his Australian heritage across varied disciplines, the artist creates works often characterised by an awareness of surface and a preoccupation with the engagement of physicality and the found object. Predominantly a painter, White’s work has broadly been attributed to the gestural forms of painterly abstraction, where the physical act of painting is key. Anthony has been the recipient of many awards including The Marten Bequest 2007, The Elioth Gruner Prize for Landscape Paininting Art Gallery of NSW 2005 and the Great Southland Art Prize. He has also participated in many artist in residence programmes throughout the world.
