Tom White is a contemporary new media artist whose work straddles the fine line between discovery and invention. His nonconventional process is a hybrid of the disciplines of photography, painting, design, science, technology, and printmaking in both analog and digital media. 

“I have embraced all of the contemporary tools of art making even before they were widely accepted in the art world. As an artist, it is important to me to challenge the viewer’s perceptions of traditional and new media and change preconceived notions of each. This allows the viewer to focus on images and question how they see them, adding dynamic new layers to the stories they create”

Along with his wife Lois, Tom is an artist in residence and founder/director of WHITEPOINT contemporary gallery and fine art services in Asbury Park, NJ. His 35+ year journey in the arts began with physics studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, then receiving his BFA from Syracuse University in which he studied printmaking, photography and design. 

Prior to founding WHITEPOINT, Tom was a sought after award-winning art director and illustrator working 24/7 with clients in every major industry and media worldwide as varied as the 2002 Winter Olympics, The Grammy Awards, Hasbro, McDonalds, and The Golf Channel to name just a few. 

When the industry crashed in 2008, seeing the future he pivoted his focus and moved his practice to the finer arts in 2010, eventually opening WHITEPOINT in 2013.

Two more recent successful solo exhibitions of note include “Seaside Dreaming: Grandeur” - a benefit exhibition for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation founded by art collectors Michael and Susan Hort, and “FLOW” - the WHITEPOINT 10th anniversary celebratory exhibition at which Busted and Crumple Canvases were introduced along with full scale installations of Two Sides To Every Story.

Other highlights include a solo exhibit at Scope NY, a multi-location exhibition with the Ad Art Show in The Oculus at the World Trade Center, a twelve floor permanent installation in a luxury residence in Washington DC, a seven mural permanent installation at Cerner (now Oracle), and a permanent video installation for AEW Global Real Estate for all of their headquarter locations

“I wholeheartedly reject artificial intelligence (AI) or any auto-generated imagery. All work is created by me. I think the most important thing about artists is their vision and ability to create their own work.”

Tom and his wife Lois are cofounders and artists in residence at WHITEPOINT. They are also the founders of WHITEPOINT FINE ART custom framing and archival printing studio providing museum quality fine art services to clients throughout the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia region.
