[4] Writer Robert Maconachie wrote that, “White's artistic work revolves around the notion of reclaiming the act of dissent through the production of cultural objects.

Over the past two decades of his career, White has exhibited globally, and achieved critical acclaim through international residency programmes and major art prizes.

Art writer Jane O'Neill says, "White takes some cues from earlier activist artists such as Yves Klein or the post-war Japanese Gutai movement.

[15] In 2020, White was awarded the Creative Arts Fellowship to conduct research into the National Library of Australia's collection relating to Sidney Nolan.

[16] White resumed the Creative Arts Fellowship in 2022 and investigated Nolan's Eureka Stockade mural that informed a new body of abstract paintings presented in his 2023 exhibition Manifestation with Lennox St Gallery.

[21] Of these, White said "The works made during the symposium are a direct reaction to my lived experience in Europe, and at a more nuanced level in dialogue with the place, the reflections on Rothko himself and his use of colour as a vehicle to consider deeper aspects of humanity.

[23] This work was also a Finalist in the Kedumba Drawing Award 2014 [24] In 2018, Elle Decor Magazine mentioned an abstract painting by Anthony White hanging in the home of Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin.

[8] In 2019, White presented a series of works at the Mark Rothko Art Centre in Latvia, including artworks from a previous exhibition The Curious Eye Never Runs Dry at UK gallery Informality in the same year, including: “Drawing from the urban cultural history of Paris, the artist uses these metro posters or “affiches” to build the image with tearing, re-cropping and utilising painterly interventions acting as a form of dissent and to dwell on modes of community and collectivity.”[15] White's recent work The Landscape is never Innocent - (After Mannalargenna) (oil on linen, 150.5 cm x 121 cm) was Highly Commended in the 2018 Glover Prize for Landscape Painting.
