Portland White #1, USA
About the Item
Rurak’s Portland white paintings have a Minimalist confidence. Simple white boards are impulsively etched with groups of lines and forms familiar in his lexicon of imagery. The etching, which also appears in his Steel Paintings and much of his functional works acts as a quasi-signature. He explains that the etching is unplanned. “Simply put these are shapes, lines and gestures that make me feel good. I do not decide the drawings before I apply them.” The spontaneous nature of the etched lines contrasts with the sober presence of the rectangular concrete blocks which hover above them, creating a dynamic tension.
Brooklyn based Stefan Rurak’s unique vision and process stems from a diverse range of media, ranging from things as conventional as drawing and painting to performance art. “The work is largely process oriented, he states, “Increasingly I became aware that the mediums I was drawn to, such as silkscreen printing and film photography were really a pursuit of a Craft that relied on a skillset as well as a system of tools.”
Working with a variety of materials – wood, cast concrete, and steel – Rurak draws no distinction between art and design, creating both purely aesthetic and fully functional pieces. Each work conveys movement, action, or intuition.

Artist Biography from AskArt -
The following is from Gary Stanley, San Diego, CA
Eugene B. White, a painter, was born in Middle Point, Ohio in 1913. He spent his artistic career documenting the landscapes of Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and the farmlands of his native Ohio.
He began his career at an early age (in elementary school). His formal training began at the Fort Wayne School of Art in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1935. The war years, and economic pressures put his art on hold until 1947 when he attended the Ringling School of Art and Design under Loran Wilford in Sarasota, Florida. He resided in Sarasota for the remainder of his life.
In addition to his artwork, he was an instructor for periods of time in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, and South Dakota. He was a member of the Florida Artists Group, Florida Federation of Art, Sarasota Art Association, and the Art League of Manatee, Florida.
White exhibited widely during his career. Exhibitions included: Sarasota Art Association, Salmagundi Club in New York, Florida Artists Group, Knickerbocker Artists, Columbus Gallery of Fine Art, Detroit Art...
