NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, UK – Opus Art is pleased to present Dave White’s latest solo show New Paintings, taken from his Superheroes and Villains series, coinciding with the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair. The internationally acclaimed artist continues his dynamic Pop Art style with a collection of large scale oil paintings depicting comic book icons along with his first ever screenprint edition.
The huge canvases and works on paper are a celebration of renowned comic characters, ranging from the highly topical Heath Ledger as The Joker to Captain America and Wonder Woman. Always inspired by the things he loves, White continues to use his distinctive trademark of impasto oil paint to create this latest series of work. A print edition
of Bang Bang! printed with Coriander Studio will also be released; 25 colour screenprints with diamond dust signed and hand finished by the artist.
White’s colourful, vigorously energetic brand of contemporary Pop Art earned him praise from the very inception of his career. His early work, created whilst working in John Lennon’s old studio, was selected for the Northern Graduates Exhibition which toured UK venues including the Royal College of Art, London. Since then his work has appeared in countless solo and group exhibitions worldwide in Kuala Lumpur, Miami, Barcelona, New York, Tokyo and throughout Europe, featuring alongside artists such as Damien Hirst and David Hockney.
White’s work will also be showcased in a solo show at London’s newest art fair, Kounter Kulture. The refreshingly edgy and exciting Opus Art production takes place at the Truman Brewery in October.
Don Smith of Opus Art commented, “Dave White is nothing less than exceptional. His work is celebrated internationally and the interest around him is phenomenal. We are delighted to be exhibiting his latest solo show.”
