WAYNE WHITE: BIG WORDS

The Emporium Center / 100 S. Gay St. March 7 - 29th

Wayne White

For almost 40 years, Chattanooga-born Wayne White has been unleashing humor in all aspects of his career, including his time as an Emmy-winning designer on the hit television show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. White’s most successful artworks have been his word paintings, which feature oversized, three dimensional text painstakingly integrated into vintage landscape reproductions. The message of the paintings is often thought-provoking and almost always humorous, with White commenting on vanity, ego and his memories of the South. In addition to his exhibition, he brings his latest musical excursion, Username Password, to opening night of Big Ears.
