www.amwhitestudio.com Art of Alice McMahon White.
Statement:
The White Album, my most recent work, is literally a 20 year labor of love . A quirky “photo-realism” album of my three teenagers, it is foremost a portrait of adolescence. Our youngest son is just entering his turbulent teens; middle-child daughter a promising artist at 16-going-on-26; the eldest son, an adult of 19, is a freshman living at Kent State University, Ohio.
I was on the threshold of my own teen years when the Beatles were the soundtrack for the hippy era. These works draw parallels between then and now, and highlight the universal, eternal character of coming of age. I have attempted to explore the similarities of each generation, despite contemporary sensibilities and recent advances in technology.
A fellow artist recently noted, “You paint to deal with life.” These candid “snapshots” are one way I’ve found to cope with the process of letting go that all parents must make. They document my children’s progress during this transitional time in their lives. Thanks to them, I am still learning.
With loving gratitude to my husband, Steve. All you need is love! ~ Alice McMahon White
