About this artwork

Impressionist painters are just lazy realists. Rather than paint every blade of grass or leaf on a tree or ripple on water, impressionists smear and daub and fake it. They are con artists! Impressionism is a halfway house to abstraction. And everyone knows that abstract painting is easy - your child could do it! Flinging paint on a canvas. Dripping it. Smearing it. Its a doddle! Abstract art - art that makes no attempt to represent an accurate… depiction of a visual reality - is not as easy as it sounds. You have to make something up after all. It is not just sitting in front of a mountain, or your neighbour's poodle and painting what you see. That is easy. Had this painting been called 'Chaos Interpreted #7165' rather than 'Rainbow Over The City' you would probably have thought it was abstract rather than impressionistic. Art shouldn't be categorised. We should we take heed of Lucius Annaeus Seneca: All art is but imitation of nature. But then again, Seneca never saw a Pollock.

« MODERN ART = I COULD DO THAT + YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T. -Craig Damrauer »

Steve White, a painter based in the Netherlands, has extensively exhibited his works nationally, as well as in the United Kingdom. While he appreciates that art can stir emotions and have great meaning for people, he has a more practical approach to creation. For example, one of the tests he does for his own works is simple - he asks himself, "Would this look good over someone's sofa?". White's abstract realist compositions also combine elements of minimalism.
