Senior & Shopmaker Gallery, in New York, is presenting an exhibition of new photographic works by photographer Ray Charles White. The artist, was born in Toronto in 1961. He employs “straight photography” skills which he honed under the tutelage of Ansel Adams, in combination with computer-based digital technology and screenprinting techniques. The resulting images—water surfaces, tree branches, shards of cracked ice—are silkscreened onto anodized aluminum panels producing an effect at once simple and infinitely detailed.

Shooting directly from nature, White captures the tension, tranquility, and emotional potential of water, in all its forms. Like artists such as Vija Celmins, Roni Horn, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, White is fascinated by the potential for pure abstraction inherent in patterns found in water surfaces. By tightly cropping his images and arranging them in minimalist grids, the artist eliminates references to specific landscapes.
White has exhibited throughout the United States and Canada in solo and group exhibitions, and most recently at Albemarle Gallery in London. His work is included in the collections of the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, FL; the Musee d’art Contemporain, Lausanne, Switzerland, the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, Canada, and the Progressive Collection, Cleveland, OH. He currently resides in New York.
