==Biography==

'''Tomory Dodge''' is an American artist based in [[Los Angeles, California]].

===Childhood===
'''Jason Tomory Dodge''' Born in [[Denver, Colorado]], the oldest of three sons. His mother, [[Madeleine Dodge]], an accomplished regional artist in [[Denver, Colorado]] and his father, [[David C. Dodge III]], a physician both encouraged his development as an artist from a young age. Growing up within a uniquely creative{{citation needed|date=March 2011}} family Dodge was not alone in his pursuit and interest in the arts. His two brother's, [[Alex Dodge]], an artist and designer and [[John Constantine Dodge]], an actor and writer insured a rambunctious but supportive{{citation needed|date=March 2011}} creative environment as a child.

His first solo exhibition in 1998 was at [[Pirate Contemporary Arts Oasis]] in Denver, Colorado.<ref name="pirate">{{cite web |url= http://www.crggallery.com/artists/tomory-dodge/bio/ |title= Artist Biography Tomory Dodge |last= |first= |coauthors= |date= 2009-10-15 |work= |publisher= ''[[CRG Gallery]]''}}</ref>

===Education===
Tomory Dodge attended [[Rhode Island School of Design]] in [[Providence, Rhode Island]] from 1994 to 1998<ref>[[CRG Gallery]] Artist Biography (http://www.crggallery.com/artists/tomory-dodge/bio/)</ref> majoring in painting. While at [[RISD]] he spent a year in [[Rome, Italy]] at the European Honors Program where his friendship with the painter [[Marc Handelman]] was forged.

Dodge then moved to [[Seattle, Washington]] where he spent the next two years developing a new direction in his work, focusing away from the figure and more on urban landscapes. He then applied to graduate programs including [[Yale University]] and [[UCLA]] but was not accepted. He applied again the following year to [[California Institute of the Arts]] where he attended from 2002 through 2004. During this time he experimented and refined his technique forming a signature style of thick gestural mark-making. His devotion to the painterly medium was at first met with mixed reviews at a school that was known for its heavy emphasis on critical theory, but Dodge eventually vindicated his position through a refined and informed exploration between representation and material.{{citation needed|date=March 2011}}

===Career===
Before Dodge had even finished his degree at CalArts he had caught the attention of a number of dealers in [[New York]] and [[Los Angeles]].<ref name="NYTimes01">{{cite news |url= http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/03/arts/design/03fink.html |title= First Come the Dealers, and Then the Diplomas |last= Jori |first= Finkel |coauthors= |date= 2005-07-03 |work= |publisher= ''[[New York Times]]''}}</ref> During the time that Dodge was attending CalArts his younger brother [[Alex Dodge]] was working for [[CRG Gallery]] in [[New York]] an established contemporary art gallery in New York City. Dodge's brother told him that one of the gallery's artists, [[Russell Crotty]], was teaching a class at CalArts and that he should consider taking it. Dodge decided to take the class where his work made a lasting impression on his professor. Crotty later urged CRG Gallery to consider the young artist's work. In 2004 CRG Gallery offered Dodge representation in New York while [[ACME Gallery]] offered him representation in Los Angeles. At this time Dodge decided to exhibit under the name '''Tomory''', his middle name, because of another artist already exhibiting in New York by the name '''Jason Dodge'''.<ref name="NYTimes02">{{cite news |url= http://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/04/arts/art-in-review-jason-dodge.html |title= ART IN REVIEW Jason Dodge |last= Smith |first= Roberta |coauthors= |date= 2000-02-04 |work= |publisher= ''[[New York Times]]''}}</ref>

Though Dodge was represented by CRG Gallery in New York his first solo exhibition would be at [[Taxter & Spengeman]] in New York whom he had already agreed to have an exhibition with prior to his offer from CRG. The exhibition was a huge success{{citation needed|date=March 2011}} and the beginning of a career that continues to grow{{citation needed|date=March 2011}}.

Dodge is also represented by [[Alison Jacques Gallery]] in [[London, UK]].
