Made in Ross Gallery are pleased to welcome
Richard White as our ​Guest Exhibitor
​for April 2019.


Richard's paintings in oils or other media,
photo-art or prints, are all 
personal statements and a personal style which is becoming both internationally recognised and sought after by collectors
​looking for an investment.

Subjects are wide ranging and created using a vast
tool box 
​packed with both traditional media and
​new digital technology. 
​

He says of himself.....I've been a photographer, artist, designer and publisher for more than fifty years and I feel very privileged to have been given numerous opportunities to express my instinctive creativity with a camera, digital imagery, paint, crayons, pens or whatever came to hand.  

​Throughout the years, particularly during my time as a photo correspondent, occasionally working in some of the less desirable places of the world, I discovered the importance of looking beyond the ordinary that most people take for granted. It offered a chance for me to open my eyes. ​

​​"When i'm not running around with a camera, I paint pictures in oils and acrylics. If i'm in a brave mood, I'll try watercolours but these usually end up as sketches and notes that inspire paint on canvas".

For me, the world is still an exciting place where new discoveries, visual stimuli and emotional responses are so important, positive and highly creative experiences. In this way, harnessed to an insatiable curiosity and imagination, I discovered the magic of combining traditional art and photography in my work but never forgetting that the two are very important in their own right. 
Most of my prints are derived from original photographs which are a starting point before post-digital painting techniques are applied in various computer imaging programs.
Adobe Photoshop is the most prominent of these and responsible for building textures, enhancements, montages or other changes that add exciting, necessary and personal reflections of my imagination. ​

​I draw inspiration from 19th and 20th century artists....Impressionism to postmodernism with a special fascination for W.M.Turner, the early Impressionists as well as the Pre Raphaelites.

In particular, I admire photographers such as Steve McCurry, Richard Avedon, Don McCullin, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz and more recently, those photographers who have turned towards digital Art and digital painting such as Christopher Gilbert, Ricardo Bagnoli and Erik Almás.
