Todd White
Todd White captures restaurant, night life and Hollywood scenes with contrasting and distinctive colors that embrace the viewer with timeless attraction. The exaggerated features and textured skin of his characters separate and blend their lives in moments that offer great and lasting impressions. White’s art is uniquely captivating. He forged his distinctive style working at Warner Brothers on the series Tiny Toons and subsequently Sponge Bob Square Pants. A decade later, White truly found his niche with his Rat Pack meets Picasso style blending in bits of Austrian Expressionism. His stark, yet vibrant works often focus on the “Age of Cool” paying homage to Sinatra, Bardot and Nat King Cole. “Whatever isn’t necessary to the story isn’t on my canvas. I don’t waste a lot of time with backgrounds because they don’t interest me.” White explains. Martinis, smoke, hands, faces and social interaction – these things do interest White. And his interpretations of them fascinate us all. He lives in Southern California with his two dogs.
