“Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself.” – Unknown Whether it is with business relationships or social interactions, networking is a building block of society. A few reasons for making connections would be to learn something new, inspire and help others, or to remind us of what is truly important. This painting is a powerful display of connection. The invasion of the red paint symbolizes influence and determination as it boldly travels across the canvas to make itself […]
“I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose.” – R.J. Anderson, Ultraviolet Finding the meaning of life and why we exist is an integral part of our survival. We will spend a huge portion of our lives searching for our purpose. Maybe we were created to explore that lingering question, “Why am I here?” It certainly will not be solved in […]
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” – Nikola Tesla “Without discipline in spiritual pursuits, the central nervous system doesn’t have a chance to adjust and grow with the increased demand. It would be like putting a high voltage into a small bulb – it is bound to explode.” – Sivananda Radha Saraswati Art is impulsive without apology. It either electrifies or repels. It can influence or evoke resistance. […]
“In painting you must give the idea of the true means of the false.” – Edgar Degas This painting speaks to the theme of unifying opposing ideas and concepts. Through the process of convergence, we see that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts. In this painting, Ralph White sought to expand the concept of the spiritual journey beyond the individual to the communal. Convergence displays a lovely color palette that blends reds, purples and oranges […]
“But life is long. And it is the long run that balances the short flare of interest and passion.” – Sylvia Plath “Every life can be learned from, as either a flame of hope or a cautionary flare.” – Richard Paul Evans Flash point is the moment at which someone or something bursts into action or being, such as an outbreak or flare-up. This painting is the center of a volcano. The blasts of colors are flares of passion and […]
“They can put me in a jungle. Still, I can create.” – M. F. Husain The jungle is a dense labyrinth of overgrown trees and unruly wildlife. It is synonymous with entanglement and puzzling riddles. This painting illustrates a chaparral or thick brush as it consumes its surroundings. When life bogs you down and you feel as if you were lost in a jungle of fragmented thoughts and feelings, finding your way out can be overwhelming. In those moments you […]
Ralph White is happy to announce that his painting Maelstrom has placed as a Competition Winner in the Paintings Category in the November 2017 4th Annual ALL Colors Online Art Competition with Contemporary Art Gallery Online (CAGO).
“I’m going to search for my star until I find it. It’s hidden in the drawer of innocence, wrapped in a scarf of wonder.” – Michael Jackson In this painting, Ralph White captures a moment so transient that it is out of focus, allowing us to interpret the action in our own way. The effective use of white adds to the feeling of a girl rushing through the air itself. Her features remain obscured as does her mission. Her dress […]
“I think art is not an ornament or refinement at the fringes of human intelligence, I think it’s at the center. It’s at the core.” – Robert Pinsky Some say that art is elective or voluntary. So how do you explain that your soul craves the expression of beauty in everything you see? How do you describe the feeling of color or your gravitation to undefined concepts in need of discovery? Art is exploration and a continuous effort to create […]
“From a little spark may burst a flame.” – Dante Alighieri “A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.” – Carl Jung An inferno is any place or state resembling hell. This painting is called Inferno as it exhibits a fire raging out of control. This haunting pageant of purgatory represents your soul in transition. There’s a constant war within us battling for peace and justice. This painting is an expression of […]
