About The Artwork

Earth view we imagine is reserved for astronauts who can look from the vantage point of their spacecraft and witness our planet from a very different perspective, it is something I have dreamed about since childhood. Today we can enjoy the experience thanks to the live streaming video provided by NASA cameras mounted outside the International Space Station, a much closer intimate and familiar view of Earth lays right beneath our feet that with a little practice we too can orbit from an altitude of approximately 1 meter to enjoy the richness of its colours and textures as we walk across its surface. This painting especially makes a clear statement about my concern for the welfare and survival of the planet we share. Like a pearl in space, revealed in all its colours and bathed in light, it is at the mercy of our actions and the consequences threaten every aspect of our lives and our home we call Earth. It is so fragile despite its size and age, we (humans) are on the verge of destroying in the next 100 years what it has taken over 12 billion to create. If you look closely you can see and experience its beauty and immediacy in the painting and wherever you stand reading this. My focus here is on what is felt and experienced, expressed in colour above likeness. Prints are available, signed if you wish and purchase directly. You may contact me anytime if you have any questions. Pax.

Born in Melton Mowbray, England, Whiteman graduated as a sculptor at Leicester Polytechnic in 1983 and moved to Madrid, Spain in 1991 where he lives and works today. Widely known for the ‘Living Sculptures’ he first developed as a student in 1982. They explore the relationship between the human figure and constructed environment and have since then been exhibited, collected and commissioned around the world. His paintings are more personal, intimate, revealing his passion for colour, light and landscape. Until recently they have remained in private hands, generously supported by a close circle of friends, family and collectors. His recent work sets out to explore through colour and light the land forms and textures he encounters capturing the spirit of a place rather than specific detail. They offer us that first glimpse as we turn our head, before we have time to focus on a scene that might be unexpected, breathtaking and beautiful, strong enough to both arouse attention and heighten our senses. Like most British artists, his approach reflects a formative training and strong narrative in European Art juxtaposed with a desire to question everything, experiment and push the boundaries of representation. In his own words ‘I see to create and create to see’ draws upon his formal training by leading artists, each contributed towards laying a solid foundation of good practice, research and clear vision. Only when the rules are understood can they be broken and experimentation unleashed; the rule book respectfully riped up or rewritten. The only limit is your imagination and the only ‘new’ rule is there are no rules! His approach to ideas has never taken the most direct or obvious route, afterall, that hardly ever leads to exciting imagery or break through discoveries. To give one example, whilst preparating to start a major stone carving (1981) he made many observation drawings, plaster maquettes and photographs. Nothing unusual about that until it was revealed that he was the model cacooned in Lycra in the photographic series ‘Tension’ (1981). They provided what he needed to complete the stone carving and openned the door to a completely new creative process by simplifying the human form and removing its identity, it also transformed the live sculptural model into the new object of his work.
