Anthony White (Sydney, Australia 1976) is an Australian visual artist. A National Art School, Sydney, graduate, White has worked and lived in Paris since 2009.

White has held solo presentations of his work in Australia, the United Kingdom, Asia and throughout Europe in commercial galleries, artist run spaces and artfair contexts.

His most recent solo presentation during 2019 was the inaugural exhibition of the new gallery .Informality in the United Kingdom. The exhibition comprises recent work reviewing ideas about civil disobedience and its correlation to contemporary late capitalism. In the exhibition, Anthony White revisits themes of involuntary detention, injustice, migration, and reflects upon the effects of a Western capitalist civilisation in our modern environment.

The contemporary experience of emerging discrepancies in society is becoming culturally relevant, the latest exhibition questions, how does social unrest affect creative movements? It’s through the artist recapturing the radical act of the gestural mark that White invites us to consider how later capitalism and democracy are failing, reflecting on ideas of justice and unequal punishment.

White’s work draws from earlier activist artists such as Yves Klein and Rotraut and the post-war Japanese Gutai movement, but the primary motivation behind recent work is Michel Foucault’s cornerstone postmodern text “Discipline and Punish” (1977). The artist believes it is fundamental to raise questions about surveillance, detainment and injustice and invites us to think about different states of being.
