The Story
Size:37 x 29 in.
Dave White’s original painting Tree Frog II, measuring 22" x 30", is a vibrant and expressive study of one of nature’s most striking creatures. Captured mid-movement, the vivid green tree frog with its signature red eyes and orange limbs bursts from the canvas with remarkable energy. White’s dynamic brushwork and use of splashes, drips, and bold colour strokes bring the subject to life, celebrating the frog’s distinctive form and captivating palette. The delicate background, with subtle splashes of green and red, enhances the sense of movement and spontaneity, while faint hand-written words, “you are brave and beautiful”, add a personal and emotive layer to the piece.
Known for his visceral approach to wildlife portraiture, White brings the same raw energy and environmental focus to this work. Throughout his career, White has balanced his fascination with wildlife and nature with his passion for urban culture, pop art, and design. From exhibiting alongside David Hockney at Sotheby’s to pioneering the ‘Sneaker Art’ movement, his artistic journey has been diverse and impactful. His wildlife collections, including Critical and Paradise, reflect his ongoing commitment to endangered species and environmental themes. Tree Frog II is a perfect example of White’s unique ability to combine painterly expression with a heartfelt environmental message.
