Bio:
Paul White is a visual artist currently living in Melbourne Australia.
He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Western Sydney in Sydney Australia and his postgraduate degree at CalArts in Los Angeles California.
His artistic practice is multi disciplined, incorporating at times elements of drawing, sewing, installation, painting, sound works and found objects.
Artist Statement:
I am interested in objects and images that are part of the everyday and popular culture.
I am particularly interested in those that are suggestive of notions of obsolescence and decay—once thriving objects or elements that have succumbed (or will inevitably) to a process of history and time. Objects of comfort, desire, dreams and necessity often become altered, transformed or lost through time. They often survive numerous individuals’ interactions, becoming signifiers or remnants for a time gone and these interactions.
In relation to this, aesthetics, styles, and fashions are constantly recycled, re-evaluated and re-used through time and in relation to the ‘now’. They become a measure for the body/self via the various physical and conceptual structures of the everyday that contain/surround it.
This examination of notions revolving around evolution, extinction and the ever-changing nature of the universe, becomes a celebration of the cyclical, constantly evolving, recycled and tenuous nature of culture and the ‘everyday’. This in turn leads to a hope for transformation, growth and renewal as much as an act of remembering or nostalgia for the past.
