About this artwork

Artist Robert Bissett contended that 'a painting is a series of corrected mistakes' but in a Suprematist painting like this – a haphazard, random array of simple shapes - who is to say what is a mistake? Well, me of course. There are three corrected errors in this picture - a red square just didn't look right; a black square very slightly overlapping a coloured rectangle, eventually got pushed underneath the rectangle; a 2 sq cms series of thin… black rods got overpainted altogether. Pretentious? Possibly. You just have to trust that the artist, like an airline pilot, knows what he is doing. In Japanese writer Haruki Murakami's recent book about novel writing (Novelist as a Vocation) Murakami bemoans the fact that he could spend hours, or even days, perfecting a single sentence knowing full well the reader will skim over it without realising the agonising that went into it. Perhaps, we should all take heed of Salvador Dali: “Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it”

« 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.
