About the Artist:

Todd White is a contemporary American artist renowned for his avant-garde figurative work, which offers a highly personal perspective on the intricacies of human behavior. With an unerring eye for detail, Todd captures every nuance of body language and expression, drawing viewers into his enticing and witty world. Born in 1969 in San Antonio, Texas, Todd's journey as an artist began at a young age, nurtured by his family's encouragement to pursue his artistic passions.

Art Style: 

Todd White's artistic style is often described as "contemporary pop" or "urban impressionism." His paintings feature bold, vibrant colors and a sense of whimsy and humor, incorporating elements of pop culture and everyday life. He is a compulsive observer of detail, studying figures, faces, and features to capture the subtleties of human behavior. Todd's subjects come from the everyday world, but his unique perspective alters the way viewers perceive people and the roles they play in society. He infuses his paintings with a sense of attraction and intimacy, revealing his subjects' innermost feelings beneath exaggerated features and textured skin. Hands are a focal point as he's always been impressed by how powerfully and expressively tiny gesticulations can amplify an actor's performance.

''Everyone's hands are full of personality- they reflect the subject's state of mind almost as much as facial expressions."- Todd White
