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 (b.1974, Breda, The Netherlands) is a Dutch-Canadian visual artist, based in New York City. She works in specific series or projects, both single session observational paintings and longer exploratory projects involving abstraction, varied surfaces, installation, performance and ephemeral art.
Her life and work have been greatly influenced by frequent moving, from immigrating to Canada as a child to returning to The Netherlands as an adult. Transition and transformation are recurrent themes: the poignant reciprocity of souvenir and memento mori evokes fugitive, vulnerable, ambivalent states for the artist.
Wittenbols exhibits throughout Canada, the UK, The Netherlands, New York and most recently Paris and Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she also resided. Her paintings were featured in the 150th juried issue of New American Paintings. During her recent residency at the Van Gogh Huis in Zundert, The Netherlands Wittenbols explored the commodification of Van Gogh’s work through the concept of the souvenir. She is currently preparing for her upcoming solo show at Form & Concept Center (Santa Fe).
