ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "TAKING FLIGHT"
⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed lower right ⚜ Frameless display
FREEDOM AND POISE IN A MOMENT OF LIFT
In “Taking Flight,” Robert Kenneth White captures a vibrant expression of liberation and serenity. A young woman, eyes closed and arms raised, lets the wind carry her billowing white fabric—creating a moment suspended between stillness and movement. The minimal sky-blue background intensifies the subject’s emotional focus and sunlit presence.
Painted in 2019, the work demonstrates White’s command of expressive figuration and natural light. The subject’s posture evokes both vulnerability and strength, suggesting themes of inner clarity and transcendence. The palette is bold yet refined, and the sculptural folds of fabric call to mind the visual tension of John Singer Sargent and Joaquín Sorolla.

THE ARTIST:
Robert Kenneth White’s paintings balance classical control with emotional immediacy. His figurative works often feature isolated subjects placed against open skies or stark interiors, inviting contemplation through gesture and gaze. “Taking Flight” joins his celebrated portraits that speak to inner states of courage, resilience, and transformation.
White’s style aligns with the expressive realism of Sorolla, the poise of Sargent, and the contemporary clarity seen in the works of Amy Sherald and Njideka Akunyili Crosby. Collectors interested in narrative figuration, feminist iconography, or elevated realism will find this work both commanding and uplifting.
