Edwin White (VA/NC), The Family, 6 Ft. Sculpture

Siler City, 2015, cut and fabricated mild steel with black powder-coat painted surface, welded signature monogram and dated to the base plate. 75 x 18 x 18 in. Private Collection, Chatham County, North Carolina Eddie White’s career as an artist began in the Staunton, Virginia’s Historic District where he painted and worked in silkscreen printing. Edwin White Studios, an art gallery and print shop was one of several retail businesses located in an old flour mill, restored and aptly named “The Factory.” Eddie participated in art and craft shows throughout the southeast with his watercolors, pen and inks, glass etchings and silkscreen prints. A move to Chapel Hill, NC in 1975 brought a change of interests. As an experienced carpenter and draftsman, Eddie designed and built homes and additions in the Research Triangle area. He also worked as a freelance graphic designer developing image campaigns for businesses in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC. Since 2000 Eddie has pursued sculpture. He was a member of the Chatham Artists Guild for several years, but has more recently focused on corporate and private commissions. His first major commission came in 2003 when he created “Mengembang” (in the Gallery-Commissions) for the Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "An ongoing interest in the technical aspects of art and design heavily influence my work. Some of my pieces are organic in shape but many are geometric. I am most often drawn to opposing shapes and double images; the juxtaposition of line and form. My most recent metal work uses many of the same lines and shapes as my earlier work but with more authority and durability. You will find that I have worked to emphasize the structure and physical presence of my pieces by accentuating the connections of line and shape. I strive to illuminate the visual significance and beauty that can be found within the technical design of a piece." Very good condition; refinished and newly powder coated by artist in 2026.
