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
Olivia Isabel Rosato (b. 1995, Los Angeles) is a visual artist based in Chicago, Illinois working primarily in oil painting, drawing, and printmaking. She received her BA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2017 and relocated to Chicago in 2020, where she is currently pursuing her MFA in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago. Her work is shaped by a rhythm of entrances and exits existing in constructed space, reflecting how physical movement through space informs emotional experience. Her forms evoke liminal space hovering between presence and absence; they resist full representation, much like the fragmented nature of memory itself. Her work has been exhibited in group shows in Los Angeles and Chicago and published in New American Paintings Issue No. 173.
