Eric White's paintings reference 20th
century film, music and pop culture backed by consummate
draftsmanship and painterly finesse to subvert and recode the dominant narratives of contemporary society.
From the iridescent, soft - edged pastels of Edgar Degas to the black - and - white precision of Charles Sheeler, from the shock of Otto Dix to the Zenlike subtlety of Agnes Martin,
draftsmanship in the 20th
century continued to matter.
