About this artwork

Think about Japan and you probably think Fuji, sushi, Hiroshima, cherry blossom, punctual trains. And yet Japan is the spiritual home of the neon sign. Japan survives under a tangled web of neon tubing like a mangrove-root, hallucinogenic circus of fizzing and buzzing excess. The first neon sign, for Tokyo Pan Bakery, went up in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo in 1926. Since then neon has spread like a psychedelic rash. In this artist’s opinion good… neon signs – not the large flashy billboards screaming ‘Hey You! Buy This! Or Else! - are the modern offspring of another great Japanese artistic tradition: woodblock printing. Good signs, like good woodblock prints, eschew details and have to convey their meaning with the minimum of simple strokes. And Chinese Kanji, which is also used in Japanese calligraph,y has been considered a supreme visual art so much that Picasso himself once declared that if he had been born Chinese he would have been a calligrapher rather than a painter.

« 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.
