An Interview With Ken White

Ken White is perhaps best known for his murals, sited in a wide variety of locations all over the world. To date, he has painted over one hundred murals.

He was for many years the personal artist for Virgin boss Richard Branson and has completed works for him in many Virgin establishments throughout the world, including record shops, hotels and airport lounges.

With the launch of Virgin Atlantic in 1984, Ken produced what is probably his most well know work: the "Scarlet Lady" emblem which features on all the airline's aircraft.

Although mural work has provided a living, Ken has always been, first and foremost, a painter and is now gaining recognition for his works on canvas.

Earlier works include collections around the themes of Ancient Egypt and the art market.

Latterly, his work is concerned with depicting industrial landscapes and the lives of working men, strongly influenced by life in the railway workshops where he worked in his youth.
