Jack White

Extended Diploma in Art & Design - Year 2 - Canterbury

Theme

Jack White is an artist who explores human nature in introspective and existential visual language. Engaging with the tactile and symbolic, he often plays with ambiguity, superficiality and intimacy. This project was spent in the pursuit of a gonzo method for practice, learning to accommodate spontaneity and fleeting interests.

Yellow Canvas [Acrylic] is a playful ode to the distant intimacy of crowds and people.

In the Kiss [Acrylic, Aluminium, Modelling Clay, Wood], he distorts the lovers’ embrace with the image of the vampire, using physically absent space to evoke isolating intimacy.

The showcase is supported by his sketchbooks, offering insight into practice and process throughout the project. Onlookers are welcome to go through them freely.
