Artist Crush: Wendy White

May 22nd, 2013 · 1 Comment

Wendy White, who lives and works in NYC, has described her style as “retro yet futuristic, inherently urban, reactive and rebellious, but also humble and DIY.” White’s paintings are inspired by the frenetic pace and oft-changing landscape of the artist’s home in Chinatown.

“There’s a great deal of bravado in her art, and sometimes a kind of frantic energy, but also fragility, self-consciousness and doubt… The painting’s repleteness seems all the greater for their ability to encompass emptiness.” – Barry Schwabsky, Vitamin P2, Phaidon, 2011.
