Todd White (artist)
Todd White (born 1969 in Austin, Texas) is an American figurative artist whose work is characterized by elongated figures, expressive faces, and a narrative style. His paintings often depict social interactions, relationships, and personal experiences, frequently focusing on themes of confidence, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection.
White's distinctive style is marked by the absence of visible eye pupils in his figures, a technique he says allows viewers to project their own emotions and interpretations onto the characters. He primarily works with mixed media, often incorporating acrylics and inks on canvas or board.
White began his artistic career in the animation industry, working on projects for Disney and Warner Bros. before transitioning to fine art. His work has gained international recognition, with exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. He has also been commissioned to create artwork for major events and brands.
While commercially successful, White's art has received mixed critical reception. Some critics praise his technical skill and ability to capture emotion, while others find his style to be overly stylized or sentimental.
