James White (b.1967) is a British artist, known for his almost photographic, hyper-detailed paintings. Originating from snapshots taken by the artist, his work explores his environment, both in domestic settings and more foreign ones, acting as a kind of cutaway film shot; White aims to create a psychological space to reflect on moments of everyday life in their wider narrative arc.
He has held several solo exhibitions internationally, and in 2006, won the John Moores 24 Painting Prize.
In 2019, Art of Wishes acquired 'Another Hotel #1' (2011), courtesy of the artist and Blain Southern, which was later auctioned at the biannual Charity Lunch in 2022.
