One of the best things about group shows is being introduced to new, inspiring artists. Although we both live in New York, Rodney White and I have never crossed paths until now and he has a new fan. Rodneys' work is beautiful and focuses on type inspired by old advertising and labeling but utilizes quotes to tell a story. His weathering technique and texture makes his look complete. I am excited to do a studio tour and see the pieces in real life.
A short quote from Rodney about his inspiration:
When he was six, Rodney White found a box of scrap paper in the back of a kindergarten classroom. The rest is history. His work, is a hybrid composition of the things he loves – typography, numerology, poetry and vintage advertising – all set to the tune of his own personal philosophy. "Being my best self."
