Local artist Marshall White’s reception well attended at Gibson Gallery

Marshall White stands with his painting “My Dog.”

The Gibson Gallery describes Marshall White’s work as an expression of acrylic and charcoal.

For those who visited the local art gallery, they no doubt agreed with the summation.

White, from Amherstburg, wrapped up his exhibit entitled “Faces,” which began July 7 and concluded Sunday afternoon with a well-attended reception.

“I started off after I retired about six years ago,” he said as to how he first became an artist. “I did simple linear buildings and worked into doing portraits.”

A couple of his pieces at the gallery are self-portraits which he did in acrylic.

Another form in which he enjoys is adding several different methods such as using cold wax, resin and oils.

“I do it for the enjoyment and I appreciate everyone who enjoys it,” he said.

Other pieces on display by White included a series of three in charcoal including one called “Under Pressure” and another acrylic titled “Well Dressed Man.”

Amherstburg is busy with arts events this summer having just wrapped up Art Crawl and now preparing for the annual Art by the River which is the major fundraiser for the Gibson Gallery. That is held Aug. 23-24 at Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada.

Up next at the gallery is another local talented artist – Where Art Meets Ink. It features the work of Amherstburg artist and tattooist Madison Young.

That display runs from July 28 to August 17 at the Gibson Gallery which is located at 140 Richmond St. The gallery is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
