Born in Liverpool, England in 1969, Carl White studied painting, drawing and graphic design at the Alberta College of Art + Design from 1989-1992 in Calgary, Alberta. White currently lives and works in Calgary, Alberta where he is exceedingly active in the art scene, as well as the community. In the way that a poet would seek to understand language with the goal of approaching the sublime, I have tried to understand painting withsimilar purpose. The ability to move beyond the literal towards a truth. The tools of a painter are akin to that of a poet, words and their placement, language and its rhythm. I am painting poems, images that dance between realism and abstraction, text and flesh, with the hope that the viewer experiences rather than views.
