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
André Comtois is a Los Angeles-based painter whose work begins with observation, either on location or through videos, but moves fluidly between looking and constructing. He’s interested in how the act of painting from life becomes a form of abstraction, and how structures outside of observation can shape what’s seen. His images balance immediacy and intention, producing something more invented than found.
