Artist Christopher Jules White Makes Los Angeles Debut with Exhibition Exploring The Intersection of Color, Light and Form at Gregory Way Gallery of Beverly Hills, Opening Saturday, March 26

Exhibition Titled Perspective in Motion is Featured on the Huffington Post and Showcases Hockney-inspired Photo Collages and Paintings Highlighting The Artist’s Love of Vivid Color and Form Altered by Light

Artist Christopher Jules White explores the intersections of vivid color, light and form in PERSPECTIVE IN MOTION, a collection of photo collages and paintings on display at the Gregory Way Gallery in Beverly Hills. The exhibition of the Texas native’s work opens with a special reception at the Gallery on Saturday, March 26 from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and runs through April 30, 2011.

“I use images and colors instead of words when I express myself because both have different capacities than words do,” says White. “I am affected by light which alters color and form and allows me to see something in an individual way. This is what I paint—the very individual thing that I see because of the effect of the light. And capturing that individuality is the essence, I think, of what painting is.”

The exhibition is featured on The Huffington Post, with the Post’s Rajeev Goyal  saying this about the artist’s work: “White’s bold photo collages of California, Japan, Switzerland and Alabama are Hockneyesque but very much his individual eye. They mark interesting truths about photography and experience, particularly in the large collage entitled ‘Japan at Rest.’ The elongated beauty of the oriental dining room with a spectacular view is a detailed and rich memory.”

I Am Everyone I Meet: Blog Hop



Today is the Blog Hop for I Am Everyone I Meet: Random Encounters on the Streets of Los Angeles, a novel written by James P. White. Jules White designed the cover art for this great piece of literary work, and you can read the following review, provided by another participant in the Blog Hop at the Writing Belle blog.  


I AM EVERYONE I MEET: Random Encounters on the Streets of Los Angeles relates the spontaneous meetings that the author has with many strangers in the city. The LOS ANGELES TIMES states that "The people White talks to, because it is Los Angeles, come from all over the world. This makes the vignettes even more fascinating-the cab driver from Moscow...the Latino man who has learned Japanese... White approaches strangers with humor and respect...and has an instinct for gentleness." THE AMERICAN BOOK REVIEW says "With shutters open a whole world gone missing is revealed in James White's I AM EVERYONE I MEET." The book has 134 pages and is divided into many sections that can be read in any order. James White writes in his introduction that "Seeing the world as filled with strangers who threaten us or seeing it as filled with other people who are like us and who interest us, makes a difference."

This is a beautiful book written in a series of short vignettes, describing real-life encounters that Mr. White experienced on the streets of Los Angeles. White is a brilliant writer. 'I Am Everyone I Meet,' is fascinating not only because it is written by an amazing writer, but because all of the stories within are completely true. I recommend this book to everybody.

Mar Yvette Talks about Art




From MarPop:
I’m no art critic, but I know when I like something, and artist Christopher Jules White’s  richly hued, visually multi-textural photo collages are just the kind of thing that remind me not all contemporary art is graffiti and debris.
The official word on the artist’s Los Angeles debut, “Perspective in Motion,” is that the collection of collages and paintings “explores the intersections of vivid color, light and form.” I say they’re just really cool Hockney-esque works of art that make me want to keep looking. (The inspiration is no surprise: White’s father, novelist James White, is a good friend of David Hockney.)
“I use images and colors instead of words when I express myself because both have different capacities than words do,” says White. “I am affected by light which alters color and form and allows me to see something in an individual way.”

The Huffington Post's Review of Jules White's Art Exhbition


From the Huffington Post: 

White's bold photo collages of California, Japan, Switzerland and Alabama are Hockneyesque but very much his individual eye. They mark interesting truths about photography and experience, particularly in the large collage entitled "Japan at Rest." The elongated beauty of the oriental dining room with a spectacular view is a detailed and rich memory.

Several of these collages have been featured in magazines or on book covers. One of them, "The Porch," (used for the cover of the book "Observations Without Daddy") was chosen as one of the "20 Coolest Book Covers of the Year" by the Huffington Post. White's paintings show an underlay of honed talent in drawing and composition.
White is an Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech University and has been represented by galleries in the South and Southwest. He has had numerous exhibitions outside California.
