About the Item

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE (B. 1950) – “DOG CART #6” Oil on Canvas ⚜ Hand Signed Lower Right and Titled on Verso ⚜ Frameless Display A CONTEMPLATIVE FIGURATIVE COMPOSITION WITH SURREAL UNDERTONES In Dog Cart #6 (2016), Robert Kenneth White presents a narrative-driven figurative scene grounded in realism yet marked by symbolic ambiguity. A large dog sits calmly within a small wheeled cart, while a child balances atop a harnessed horse nearby. The intentional contrast in scale and the simplified golden ground plane create a sense of quiet tension and visual poetry. White’s technical control keeps the composition cohesive and measured, allowing the scene to resonate without overt explanation. The painting rewards prolonged viewing, offering layered meaning through proportion, posture, and negative space rather than explicit storytelling.

Raised in Salinas, California, his early exposure to the Monterey region shaped a lifelong devotion to observing and depicting the natural world with clarity and restraint. “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me,” White has said. “I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head.” That instinctive relationship with subject matter drives a body of work grounded in direct observation, refined composition, and disciplined use of light. White’s influences span from the light-driven techniques of Claude Monet and John Singer Sargent to the narrative clarity of Norman Rockwell and the classical richness of Rembrandt. His paintings are held in collections by Fairmont Hotels, The Four Seasons, Bank of America, and Toyota, and have been acquired by collectors such as Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Cher, and Michael Douglas.
