West Texas native Tom
White is a self-taught artist who has a background in carpentry and is
currently located in Bethel, Maine while
maintaining a base in Midland, Texas, his hometown. At
the age of 30, Tom discovered a hidden talent for art in many forms. Tom is being touted by key figures in the world of art to be
among the most formidable artists in today’s contemporary art arena.
Numerous life-size bronze sculpture scenes incorporating several
figures each are located across the United States and Canada featuring an array of powerful subjects including soldier war memorials, biblical
scenes, family memorials, teachers and children. Tom is passionate about depicting and honoring heroes of all
eras and many private collectors have acquired Tom’s original creations
including, but not limited to, Native Americans, sports heroes, family
portraits, public figures, religious and biblical figures, children,
family pets and craftsmen.
In
Tom's portrait bronzes, he has the unique ability to go beyond capturing
just the face and form into capturing the spirit, character and essence of
a person. Tom’s duplication
of exact likenesses is unparalleled.
His mission is to “honor God and his fellow man through his art
in lasting bronze.” His
dramatic figurative bronze sculpture scenes feature exhilarating movement,
exquisite attention to detail, emotional impact and
reveal his unique expertise for isolating and uncovering the character and
spirit of his subjects. In
the Artist’s own words, “I believe that ‘the face’ is the mirror of the human soul and the
map to the character of the spirit within.
All of my work is geared toward capturing that elusive quality that
makes us endure, grow, live and love as human beings in the faces of the
subjects being depicted. Bronze
is a difficult medium to bring warmth, passion and life to, but for some
reason, this comes easily to me. I
thrive on evoking a reaction from people who see my work.
When I see people burst into tears or laughter when they first see
a sculpture I have done of someone they know, that is the reward in
itself, and worth every effort. I
find immense satisfaction in touching people through my art.”
Tom
White’s lasting creations in bronze leave an indelible mark on the heart
of all those who experience the impact of their timeless messages of
strength and frailty; love and life; loss and pain; courage and endurance. Tom’s figurative and portrait bronze sculptures, including his soldier war memorial, have been featured in numerous newspaper and magazine publications, television. Commissions & Public Art Sculpture Placements |
