Chimp By Dave White

Dave White is an award winning British artist, working at the forefront of contemporary fine art. Bringing a fresh take to the traditional paint-to-canvas medium, White uses oil and watercolour to create works that are filled with expression, emotion and dynamism. Known for his animal series', White captures creatures from the natural world with astonishing vividness, exploiting colour, texture and tonality to generate a unique aesthetic. 'Chimp' strips back the visual layers of White's normally colour-laden style, to reveal the quick illustration of a chimp's head. A simple, graphite sketch, washed with patches of dove-grey pigment, White has captured the intensity of the animal with incredible dexterity, dynamism, and truly compelling artistic flare.
