Synopsis

Wayne is a unique wordsmith, brilliantly juxtaposing irreverent and humorous phrases over existing thrift store paintings that together
create a completely original and fictional landscape. Influenced by both his upbringing in rural Tennessee and a very sophisticated
knowledge of art history, Wayne White's sensibility is completely singular and distinctive.


Wayne White's warped and perspectival words integrate into seemingly benign pastoral landscapes, creating a completely surreal
experience. Wayne's expert painting chops and detailed attention to lighting and reflection place the "new" text directly in its "original"
setting. Text paintings such as "Donald Judd was a Son of a Bitch Wrecked His Train in a Whorehouse Ditch," "Poon," and "Maybe
Now I'll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve," are a welcome departure from the more-often-than-not self-aggrandizing art world.

In fact, this popularly priced, sumptuous monograph is FANFUCKINTASTIC!
