Matthew White
We commissioned figurative artist Matthew White to create sculptures and installations to add a bit of curiosity, humor, and whimsy to our interiors. White created a very special guest for our Reston Station bar who never leaves – our seated Bronze Bar Fox toasting with his Glencairn Whisky Glass. He is a sly and dapper fox indeed, seated across the bar from three bronze chickens, posture perfect, calling attention to himself. But these aren’t the only bronze chickens we have on display – our location in Alexandria also features White’s bronze & gold chickens in our Farmhouse dining room.
White has been studying art and making sculptures for over ten years, working with metals, resin, and winterstone. Specializing in realistic, life-size sculpture, his work is often a play on mythological figures and cultural narratives. White’s artwork has been exhibited in various public installations, including NYC’s Riverside Park, the Greenpoint Sculpture Wall in Brooklyn, and on the campus of Rockland Community College in upstate New York.
White received classical training in sculpture and drawing at the Art Students League of New York and Grand Central Atelier in Queens. He obtained his Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture at the New York Academy of Art in 2016. White has taught sculpture at the Educational Alliance in New York City and also at his alma mater, the New York Academy of Art. He is also a teacher at the Rennert New York Language School.
