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
Cosmic dolphins, dancing stars, domesticated cats, and other odd forms doing their part in the greater composition. Color and geometry hold together characters discreetly attempting to pull apart the sum of the whole at the seams. Some obvious, some quiet. Michael Saunders’ paintings capture pictures impressed on the spirit, seeing the joy, humor, and absurdity of the beautiful momentary experience. Sometimes poetic, always silly, never taken too seriously. Layers of paint and color give the viewer a physical reaction. Gouache, oil, spray, and anything that calls out to make a feeling or texture are clumsily applied to paper and canvas.
