Jeremie and his kids play hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>Your work is so beautiful and you\u2019re obviously a big hockey fan! Can you share how your love of art and hockey came together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>When I was eight years old I would draw my favorite Canucks players; guys like Cesare Maniago and Richard Brodeur. I also use to collect hockey cards and game programs. After high school, I took the IDEA Design and Illustration program at Capilano in my hometown Vancouver. After graduation, I went on to work as a graphic designer for Suburbia and took on freelance illustration assignments. In the lead-up to the 1998 Winter Olympics, the first involving the NHL stars, I was hired to do a series of magazine illustrations featuring the best pros going to Nagano for the Games. That experience reignited my childhood passion to create sports art. I did some paintings for my own home and have been doing NHL art since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/functionfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/featureImage-A-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/functionfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/featureImage-A-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/functionfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/featureImage-A-2-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/functionfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/featureImage-A-2-768x349.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>Can you share a little about your process with us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>Andy Warhol once said&nbsp;<em>&#8220;You ought to make things big, people like it that way.&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;I see my hockey card paintings, with their large scale and vibrant colors, as Canadian Pop Art. I usually start with a graphic drawing and a monochromatic acrylic under-painting. Layering in gel medium or gesso helps me build depth and texture. Finally, when I lay in darker washes using oil paint, the medium gets pretty thick and I can apply the lighter tones and highlights with a visible energy in the brush-strokes. My goal is to ride the line between capturing a likeness of the subject matter and maintaining a vitality that doesn\u2019t hide the artist\u2019s mark-making process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremie White is an Illustrator and painter, owner of SportsArt.ca, as well as the Design Director and partner at Suburbia Studios.
