Anthony White – Somethin’ Somethin’

Greg Kucera Gallery is excited to announce our fourth exhibition by Seattle artist, Anthony White. In this exhibition, titled Somethin’ Somethin’, the artist explores media and its influence on our society. Influenced by the vanitas tradition of 16th- and 17th-century Dutch painting, White invites viewers to explore how images of people and objects come together and gather meaning through a contemporary lens. White manually extrudes strands of a 3-D printing ink, PolyLactic Acid (PLA,) through a pen-like tool onto wood panels. The resulting works’ labor-intensive process contrasts with the mass production methods used to manufacture the objects he depicts.

“I reframe painting’s relationship with technology, blurring the boundaries between painting and digital process-based practices by building compositions that weave ubiquitous objects, technological motifs, and historical and literary allusions to reflect the complexities of contemporary life. These layered narratives explore how objects interact with their environments, how seemingly mundane moments carry deeper significance, and how our existence is mediated through digital and consumerist culture.”
