ABOUT THE ARTIST
Anthony White is an artist and curator who lives and works in Seattle, Washington, where he is currently represented by Greg Kucera Gallery. He is a 2018 Cornish College of the Arts Alum, the first in his family to complete four years of professional training. White’s work consists of intimate and intricate portraits, still-lifes, and objects meticulously spun from common PLA plastic. His work blurs the line between fact and fiction and disrupts hierarchies of status and wealth by framing figures, trivial souvenirs, and low-brow accouterments in luxurious environments. After his most recent solo exhibition at Greg Kucera Gallery, and participation in a group show at KÖNIG Galerie Berlin in 2020, Anthony was named the recipient of the 2021 Seattle Art Museum Betty Bowen Award, the 2020 Neddy Painting Award, as well as a 2020 Fellowship Award from Artist Trust. White’s work is currently on view at the Henry Art Gallery for
Queer Visibility, a dual artist exhibition, as well as the Frye Art Museum for their permanent collection exhibition,
Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art. His latest curatorial project,
In Crystallized Time, a 28 artist group exhibition, is also on view at the Museum of Museums through January 2022. White’s work is collected globally, privately and publicly, including the permanent collection of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA. He is currently in preparation for multiple solo exhibitions nationally, internationally and institutionally, which are scheduled to open in 2022.
