Tom
Tom White is a contemporary multimedia artist whose work explores the uncharted space between invention and discovery. Informed by his studies in both physics and art, his process spans painting, sculpture, photography, digital imaging, design, science, and technology, integrating both traditional and digital media.
“I embraced contemporary tools of art-making long before they were widely accepted. As an artist, it is important to challenge preconceptions and give viewers the space to focus, question, and reconsider how they see art — ideally creating a new experience.”
Tom is the artist-in-residence and founder/director of WHITEPOINT Contemporary Gallery and Fine Art Services in Asbury Park, NJ. His 35+ year journey in the arts began with studies in physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, followed by earning a BFA from Syracuse University, where he studied printmaking, photography, and design.
Prior to founding WHITEPOINT, Tom was a sought-after, award-winning art director and illustrator, working with clients across major industries and global media, including the 2002 Winter Olympics, The Grammy Awards, Hasbro, McDonald’s, and The Golf Channel, among many others.
Two notable recent solo exhibitions include Seaside Dreaming: Grandeur, a benefit exhibition for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation founded by collectors Michael and Susan Hort, and FLOW, WHITEPOINT’s 10th anniversary exhibition, where Busted and Crumple Canvases were introduced alongside full-scale installations of Two Sides To Every Story.
Additional highlights include a solo exhibition at Scope New York, participation in the Ad Art Show at The Oculus at the World Trade Center, a twelve-floor permanent installation in a luxury residence in Washington, DC, a seven-mural permanent installation at Cerner (now Oracle), and a permanent video installation for AEW Global Real Estate across its headquarters locations.
Lois
As a photographic artist, Lois draws upon her textile and knitwear design background to weave ideas, concepts and experiences with her camera.
For her, the use of the lens is less about capturing a moment and more about an intent or visceral experience that is palpable to the viewer. For Lois, the camera is the conduit between the real and the emotional.
Her abstract work involves single frame in-camera long exposures that express the gestures and motion of light. The results are otherworldly impressions like ethereal paintings and drawings.
Lois is the Director and Framing Designer for WHITEPOINT Fine Art
Together
Collaborative husband and wife team Tom & Lois White are cofounders and resident artists at WHITEPOINT gallery and studio for contemporary art. Both are multidisciplinary artists working in photography-based new media.
Much of their work explores the vagaries of light through the use of multiple exposure, color, black and white, and positive / negative relationships. The results challenge the viewer’s perception of the image’s subject matter and medium.
Their clients include art collectors, art consultants, developers, interior designers, and architects. In addition to commercial and residential commissions, his work is held in numerous private collections
