About the Item

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "WHERE THE SHADOWS BLOOM" ⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed on verso ⚜ Frameless display MEDITERRANEAN COURTYARD IN VIBRANT LIGHT Suffused with radiant hues and dappled light, Where the Shadows Bloom presents a vivid Mediterranean courtyard alive with color and architectural charm. Pink and lavender shadows dance across the tiled flooring, while red blooms spill from bright planters and a vine-covered wall leads the eye toward a softly arched entrance. A central fountain, ringed by terra cotta pots, anchors the scene in timeless serenity. In this piece, White allows bold brushwork and saturated color to dominate, evoking the lyrical palettes of French and Spanish post-impressionism while retaining his signature precision with structure and sunlight. The interplay between color, shadow, and form invites comparison with the sun-drenched settings of Joaquín Sorolla, Henri Matisse, and Nicolas de Staël. WHY COLLECT THIS WORK? ✓ Brilliantly colored Mediterranean courtyard from Robert Kenneth White’s 2010 collection ✓ Loose impressionist brushwork balanced with classical perspective ✓ Ideal for collectors drawn to Sorolla, Matisse, or contemporary plein air traditions ✓ A luminous architectural garden scene suitable for both modern and traditional interiors ARTWORK DETAILS: ▸ Title: "Where the Shadows Bloom" ▸ Artist: Robert Kenneth White ▸ Medium: Oil on Canvas ▸ Year of Creation: 2010 ▸ Signature: Hand signed on verso ▸ Country of Origin: United States ▸ Dimensions: — ◼︎ Canvas Size: 28.125 x 24 inches ▸ Condition: Excellent ▸ Framing: Frameless Display – Ready to hang or frame INCLUDED DOCUMENTATION ✓ Certificate of Authenticity ✓ Artist Biography Document THE ARTIST: Robert Kenneth White is a contemporary realist painter celebrated for his ability to fuse atmosphere with architecture. While trained in traditional oil techniques, his palette frequently reflects a more expressive, almost Fauvist sensibility, particularly in his garden and courtyard scenes. Where the Shadows Bloom draws on the chromatic legacy of Pierre Bonnard, Post-Impressionist colorists, and the architectural stillness of Edouard Vuillard. Comparable artists include Dennis Perrin, Ken Auster, and Susan Lyon—painters who blur the boundary between figuration and vibrant color study. White’s Mediterranean-inspired works are collected for their ability to invoke warmth, escapism, and painterly depth in a modern yet timeless voice.
