Eric White's paintings tour a netherworld populated by movie stars, political figures, and ordinary people stretched and distorted and placed in bizarre landscapes but always disturbingly recognizable. Dubbed the "anti" Norman Rockwell, White employs a meticulous melding of hyperrealism and surrealism to make his dark dreams. Typical of his work is "Critical Path," a black-comic blast at the Hollywood dream machine. Here Dorothy from the The Wizard of Oz is shown brushing the teeth of a terrifying oversized Toto. With over 100 illustrations, this book sumptuously surveys the past decade of White's achievements.

"White's paintings ... are rooted in photographic imagery, with icy, inorganic colors and virtuoso smooth textures."
