Phil R. White is a Canadian artist and sculptor. He is the Dominion Sculptor of Canada, a position whose duties include the creation of original works of art in sculpture. It is likely the only such government-salaried permanent position in the world (No such position exists in the United Kingdom, nor the United States.). Primarily, his works are figurative art. He is an architectural sculptor and carver and creates works in stone, wood, and bronze. == Early influences == Born in Peterborough, Ontario, in 1963, White was raised in artistic environment where he was encouraged to be creative. He began carving wood and sculpting at very young age. His initial inspiration was a master stonemason and wood carver - his grandfather. Later Sculptor Bill Reid and other Haida artists became a major influence. White looked at these works during many family trips to British Columbia. At age 17, he sold his first pieces in commercial art galleries in the Peterborough area and later in Toronto. He participated in several group shows at Whetung Gallery and Art Loft Gallery from 1982 to 1986. At Sir Sandford Fleming College, he studied art conservation techniques. Later in the 1980s, he continued his studies for three years at the Canadian Conservation Institute. There he focused on art history, conservation and historical artifacts' restoration, conservation theory, metal and woodworking techniques and traditional finishes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phil R.
