Keinyo White's Portraits!

February 01, 2010

  Keinyo White Watercolor Portrait

When we stumbled upon Keinyo White's watercolor portraits it was love at first site. Portraits of his friends and acquaintances are more compelling than most celebrity or historical figure work come across. We identify as he seems to capture the contemporary essence and persona of folks we interact with on the streets on a daily basis. Hideout Gallery hopes to bring Keinyo White's portraits to collectors sometime in 2010 so stay tuned!
