About the Item

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "SANTA MONICA PIER AT NIGHT" Oil on Canvas ⚜ Signed Lower Right ⚜ Titled on Verso A LUMINOUS NIGHTSCAPE OF CALIFORNIA COASTAL ICONOGRAPHY Santa Monica Pier at Night is a striking atmospheric oil by Robert Kenneth White, capturing a quiet, cinematic moment along one of California’s most iconic landmarks. The piece glows with a dreamlike haze, lit by the glow of lamplight and softened shadows that stretch across the pier. White’s control of tonality and light draws the viewer into a mood of stillness and reflection, where subtle silhouettes and receding storefronts evoke a familiar yet ethereal memory. As with much of White’s coastal work, this painting blends realism with stylized ambiance, emphasizing the interplay between natural light and human structure. The work is framed in a wide metallic-accented wood frame with minor wear, but the painting itself remains in excellent condition.

Raised in Salinas, California, White was deeply influenced by the sweeping vistas of Monterey Valley, which became a defining element of his artistic vision. His work reflects a meticulous attention to light, shadow, and movement, creating immersive compositions that resonate with collectors and institutions worldwide. White describes his creative process as one driven by instinct and observation: “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head.” He emphasizes the fleeting nature of inspiration, noting, “Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the ‘perfect’ click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone.” Influenced by artists such as John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet, Rembrandt, and Norman Rockwell, White blends classical techniques with a contemporary sensibility. His works have been acquired by major corporations and collectors, including Fairmont Hotels, The Four Seasons, Bank of America, and Toyota, as well as notable figures such as Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Cher, and Michael Douglas. With a career spanning decades, White’s paintings continue to be treasured in both private and public collections.
