Anthony White (Australian artist)

Anthony White (born in Sydney, Australia in 1976) is an Australian visual artist. A National Art School, Sydney, graduate, White has worked and lived in Paris since 2009. White has held solo exhibitions in Sydney, Paris, London [1] and Hong Kong.[2] 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.[3] Landscape and architectural references are used in White's work across the disciplines of drawing, painting, collage and sculpture. [4]

White has been awarded a number of international commissions and residencies, which have reportedly been influential in developing his body of work, surveyed in White’s solo exhibition at Le Pave D’Orsay, Paris (2014).[5][6]

White collaborated with Michael Woolworth Publications during November 2015, funded by the Creative Industries Career Fund of the Copyright Agency Australia. This workshop collaboration resulted in the production of a seven-colour lithograph.[7]

As well as his work being held in numerous private collections, White’s portrait "Mandrake - Portrait of Baz Luhrmann" (charcoal on paper) was acquired in 2014 for the Australian Portrait Collection of the Tweed Regional Gallery.[8]
