Clayton White performing martial arts in front of his art installation at the Los Padres National Forest in 2015.
Clayton White's kinetic paintings embody a unique synthesis of athleticism and artistic expression, directly reflecting his rigorous training as an athlete. Drawing from his experiences in baseball and art modeling, White has cultivated a distinctive approach to paint application that channels the physicality and dynamism of sports.
The interplay of his diverse experiences results in a vibrant tapestry of color and movement, drawing the viewer into a dialogue that celebrates both body and paint as vessels of expression.
Much like Jackson Pollock’s revolutionary approach to action painting, White's work invites audiences to experience the joy of motion captured on canvas.
