Painting pictures of cars feels like it teaches me something about how we perceive problems and adversity in life. All of the driver's concerns are paused and frozen in a rectangle. Can I learn to view things like that in life?

I’m also interested in the most fundamental things a car does. Inside of this container, I can go forward and backward, I can turn left and right. I have lights. I have a horn, a speedometer. I bought one in a color that I prefer. There’s a radio inside, and I can listen to whatever I want. I can also sleep in here if necessary. I have paperwork that says it’s mine. This is my car." - Taylor White, 2022

Taylor White’s newest series showcases 10 monumental depictions of cars. These sketchy, cartoonish oil-stick paintings are made with broad gestures – some on raw canvas, others on wide color fields. Spontaneous and unrestrained, the pieces suggest an archetypal, basic idea of the car, the epitome of a simplified, absolute conceptual form inspired by the design and history of the problematic East German Trabant 601.
