“A collection of vignettes derived from 1970s television, recalling a time when the three or four available stations beamed a low-resolution orange and brown rainbow of dread directly into the collective subconscious— subduing and narrowing our imaginations, encouraging compulsive consumption, and programming our minds with misogyny, self-doubt, and a fear of others. And while these seemingly benign commercialized narratives were inflicting significant spiritual damage, behind the scenes a slow-motion corporate overthrow of our democracy was in its nascent stages.”
—Eric White, Los Angeles, May, 2020

"The first comprehensive and long-overdue monograph of visual artist Eric White, containing mostly previously unpublished work. White generates a world of psychologically charged narratives in his masterfully executed and surreal figurative paintings. His work is inspired by cinema—especially the golden age of Hollywood—and by an obscure pop culture seen through the lens of a satirical and fantastical schizophrenic dream logic. This book covers the breadth of his career so far, from his earliest acrylics, oils, and works on paper, to his subverted album cover paintings, to work he describes as paranoid social realism, to his "1/3 Scale Retrospective" installations. White's work opens a window into an alternate universe, one that is distorted, dark, and extremely witty."
