Dave White

Dave White is a contemporary British artist known for celebrating popular culture and exploring emotive themes. After earning his BA (Hons) in Fine Art (Painting) from Liverpool John Moores University, he gained early recognition with his selection for the Northern Graduates exhibition at the Royal College of Art.

In 2002, White pioneered the ‘Sneaker Art’ movement with pop art-inspired sneaker oil portraits, leading to collaborations with Nike and Brand Jordan. He is among the few artists with his own signature Jordan releases. White also worked on an international sneaker project with Size? x Nike for the AM95 DW, featuring Rabbit and Fox artworks from the Albion Collection.

Whilst White has pursued many subject matters over the last twenty years, for the last 15 years he has been focussed on environmental issues by promoting endangered species with his signature expressive portraits.  White continues to support international charities with donations of work for special projects and auctions.
