About this artwork
I expect, in your busy life. you don't have much time to think about shadows. You know what a shadow is and how it is formed; what's the big deal? I was similarly dismissive until I came to paint them and I realised how complicated they can be. Shadows don't just make everything darker. There are degrees of darkness depending on the light source or indeed whether there are different light sources producing overlapping shadows. Details of the pavement…
still show through the shadows produced by the bikes in this picture for instance. The great Caravaggio was the master of using shadows in his pictures (chiaroscuro). Shadows also have a cultural significance. Some cultures consider shadows as ghosts, and the fear of shadows is called sciophobia. Chhaya is the hindu God of shadows. And, last but not least, up to 2007 The Shadows were the fifth-most successful act on the UK Singles Chart, behind Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Cliff Richard and Madonna. Phew.

« 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.
