Selected Reviews: Fort Worth Star Telegram White's colors bulge and glow from the canvas. Like Van Gogh, he takes recognizable forms and enhances their color and distorts their form." Birmingham Weekly "We tend to think of young artists as being up and coming. It seems to me that, at the improbable age of twenty, Jules White has up and come. He first established himself as a portrait painter, achieving striking likenesses and facial animation with an economy of line. His bold use of primary colors when dealing with the face and figure is striking. White quickly moved on to landscapes, but maintained his painterly freedom, spontaneity, and intuitive sense of color. His landscapes sometimes combine a fascination with still life – as in a 1999 work in which a bunch of bananas and a closed book dominate the foreground of a dock set against a largely minimalistic background. So it was only a natural progression when White began a third phase, the still life. It is fitting that he calls one group of these ‘Sunscapes’—‘scapes’ bringing his elemental landscapes somehow into interiors and domestic spaces; and ‘sun’ connoting his vivid use of chromatic and synthetic values—where no sun is ever so yellow, no sky ever so blue, no trees ever so green. As Peter Schjeldahl wrote of the colorist Wolf Kahn, ‘These are not colors that sunlight finds in nature; they are colors that an aroused sensibility finds, with joy, in the art of painting.’ Whatever Jules White’s subject matter, his paintings reconcile vibrant color with intense personal discovery.
