Dave White
'Piranha – Diamond Dust'

Dave White is a contemporary British artist whose work celebrates popular culture by interpreting emotive issues in a beautifully stylistic yet striking manner. He engages with his subjects through a textured visual language, whilst exploring the complex theme of endangered species.

White has enjoyed a growing success since the 90’s, having been selected for the Northern Graduates exhibition at the Royal College of Art in 1994, where he first exhibted animal portraiture. This was followed by an exhibition at Sotheby’s London to celebrate the Blue Cross centenary and continued with international art fairs.

In 2002, Dave pioneered the ‘Sneaker Art’ movement through his masterful execution of pop art inspired sneaker portraits, which has lead to fruitful and long-term collaborations with Nike and Jordan.

Dave White exhibits internationally throughout the USA, Europe and Asia.

Dave White’s spontaneous, vibrant and emotionally rich portraits of the animal kingdom’s brightest and best have led him to the very top of his field internationally these past two decades. This incredibly high-quality giclee edition captures all the movement and energy of White’s dynamic brush strokes and captures the colour, spirit and mischief of the awed piranha. Hand-applied diamond dust takes this edition to the next level and worthy of any Bond villain’s lair.
