Steven White
More and more these days, the creative world is seeing an emergence of artists creating
positive spaces and shapes that, in turn, cleverly carve out shapes in negative space
intentionally. Negative space is, quite simply, the space that surrounds the subject in an
image or painting. Just as important as that subject itself, negative space helps to define
the boundaries of positive space and brings balance to a composition. My most recent
works are classic examples of negative space use. Providing a place for the eye to rest,
the striking white space matched with the beautiful, eccentric black make them, what I
hope to be, unforgettable executions of the technique. Additionally, sometimes a splash
of color can make all the difference in the completion of a finished piece.
With a passion for creative thinking, I aspire to create art that is conceptual, surreal and
fun in a unique way. Exhibitions I have participated in are…
