Biography
|
15_25
|
The son of Campbell MacNaughton Whyte (retired Royal Air Force) and Janice Whyte (Homemaker,
|
15_26
|
Gardener and Artisan), Steven Whyte was born 17 March 1969 in Amesbury, United Kingdom and grew up
|
15_27
|
in various parts of Europe including Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, England, and the Shetland
|
15_28
|
Isles.
|
15_29
|
Whyte, a dyslexic, has been described as first using art as a social solution, rather than a
|
15_30
|
potential vocation: "Art class was often the only place I felt confident that I could contribute
|
15_31
|
and learn at the same rate as my peers.” Whyte's first art courses were drawing and graphic
|
15_32
|
design, but it was not until high school that he began learning ceramics and sculpture. As an
|
15_33
|
undergraduate, he was granted a full scholarship and became the youngest applicant accepted to the
|
15_34
|
Sir Henry Doulton School of Sculpture, under the late Professor Colin Melbourne ARCA and Dame
|
15_35
|
Elisabeth Frink RA.
|
15_36
|
After leaving school, Whyte co-wrote the only validated figurative sculpture course in England and
|
15_37
|
accepted a teaching position at Stafford College. He then became the youngest member of the
|
15_38
|
London-based Society of Portrait Sculptors, where he served as Vice-President alongside President
|
15_39
|
Franta Belsky PPRBS, late sculptor to the Royal Family. Whyte's early career consisted primarily
|
15_40
|
of private commissions and portrait work, with over 70 completed commissioned official portraits to
|
15_41
|
date.
|
15_42
|
In 2003, Whyte opened his first US open studio and gallery on Cannery Row in Monterey, California.
|
15_43
|
In 2007, the Steven Whyte Sculpture Studio and Gallery moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California where
|
15_44
|
it is currently open to the public every day.
|
15_45
|
Artistic style
|
15_46
|
The human form is Whyte's preferred subject, and he typically works with live models whenever
|
15_47
|
possible. His sculptures are ultimately cast in bronze, but they begin as clay.
|
15_48
|
Steven Whyte describes himself as a "sculptor of people" and although his pieces are reminiscent of
|
15_49
|
classical figures, Whyte chooses to put importance on "the emotional quality and impact of the
|
15_50
|
sculpture" more than the adherence to traditional technique. Whyte intends for his work to have
|
15_51
|
"narrative and tangible personality".
|
15_52
|
Whyte currently works in a studio that is open to the public. The interaction and response has
|
15_53
|
become a part of his work. “There's a constant energy. It's like when a film actor does theater
|
15_54
|
and suddenly there's no distance between his work and the audience, the response is both immediate
|
15_55
|
and honest.”
