Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Doreen Wittenbols (Breda) is a Dutch-Canadian, queer visual artist and migrator currently based in New York City. She is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art & Design and Concordia University. Her work encompasses single-session observational paintings and longer exploratory projects involving abstraction, installation, performance, serialized painting, and ephemeral art. Since 2016, Wittenbols’ figurative painting practice has expanded to include the incorporation of “souvenir” objects from her own life as well as found vintage items. Through installation projects and conceptually-driven series, Wittenbols reworks these non-traditional art elements from female and LGBTQIA+ perspectives to alter or subvert their superficial significance to question the patriarchy and societal roles. Wittenbols has exhibited her work in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, New York, Paris, and Santa Fe. The exhibition at Harbourfront Centre is her first major solo exhibition in Toronto.
