ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Blaine is a Toronto based interdisciplinary artist influenced by his experience as a Canadian raised on the US/Canada border. His racial background encompasses black, white and small amount of indigenous influence.
Blaine's paintings, primarily executed in oil on canvas, are characterized by a distinct dialogue between realism and abstraction. White frequently depicts figurative subjects—ranging from Canadian wildlife and Indigenous portraits to scenes inspired by mid-century theatre and film—with striking precision. These realistic portrayals are integrated into vibrant environments filled with stylized geometric patterns. By placing lifelike figures against these graphic backdrops, he creates a visual space where the past and the present coexist.
