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.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Polina Bertou is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, and installation. Visually informed by references encompassing the language of cartooning, art history, and literature, their work strives for uncanny recompositions of familiar echos reflecting a gamut of emotions oscillating between despair and hope. Bertou works across various painting approaches, allowing the different modes of making to interact and inform one another, collapsing binaries of artistic genres and cultural narratives they hold.
