Tim White is rightly ‘celebrated as a representative of a new school of super-realists that began shaping British sf art in the mid-1970s. Though Chris Foss and Jim Burns were equally influential, there is a case for calling him the finest technician in this tradition as his use of very fine detail imbues his paintings with a luminous clarity sometimes reminiscent of René Magritte or, rather differently, of Andrew Wyeth’ (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).
