 The artist himself will be presenting an artist talk, Aug. 17 from 1-2 p.m. to talk about his  exhibition Carousel, which opened, July 31 and ends on Aug. 17 as well.
“He was born in Liverpool and spent a lot of time  in England and Europe. But he has been inspired by Renaissance and high art,” summarized Mortar and Brick arts and Events Coordinator Courteny  Green, noting White emigrated to Calgary to at the Alberta College of Art and Design.


 She noted he explores the idea of art being “precious,” or untouchable by ripping, tearing, altering and painting graffiti on the canvasses and even on the walls  around the works.
The exhibition features 13 pieces in several different mediums including acrylic, oil and ink.

There are also three sculptures.
