About Alina Tenser

Alina Tenser is a Ukrainian born artist currently living and working in Brooklyn, NY.

Her work has been widely reviewed and written about in publications such as New York Times, The New Yorker Magazine, Artforum, BOMB Magazine, Cultured Magazine, Hyperallergic, The Brooklyn Rail, and The Third Rail.
