WHITE, Tim

WHITE, Tim
   Working name of UK illustrator Timothy Thomas Anthony White (1952-), one of the new school of super-realists that has shaped UK sf ILLUSTRATION since the mid-1970s. After 2 years in advertising he received his first sf commission in 1974. Immediately successful, he soon became one of the UK's premier book-cover illustrators; he has painted several hundred of them. There is a case for calling him the finest technician in UK sfillustration, and along with Chris FOSS and Jim BURNS he has produced the UK's most influential sf artwork of the past two decades. Using very finedetail, his paintings have a luminous clarity sometimes reminiscent of Rene Magritte (1898-1967) or (rather differently) of Andrew Wyeth (1917-). His work is figurative, often uses unusual perspectives, and regularly makes much of grass and sky in the landscapes in which the sf images are set. The Science Fiction and Fantasy World of Tim White (1981), a very strong collection, contains 111 paintings, nearly all book covers.
