Fine.

White was particularly proud of this image, explaining in private correspondence that 'within the oeuvre of my work there is nothing quite like it in terms of colour. Neither in the works of any other artist that I have seen either. Thus I feel it is a unique work in that respect."

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).
