Chris Dorland (born 1978, Montreal) is a Canadian/American contemporary artist based in New York City. His paintings and digital screen-based works collapse hyper-representation and hyper-abstraction[1] by manipulating together digital files and software and paint.[2] His work is included in numerous public and private collections, including the Bronx Museum, the Whitney Museum of Art and the Neuberger Museum of Art.

Early life and education

[edit]

Dorland was born in Montreal, Quebec. He received his BFA from State University of New York at Purchase.

Artwork

[edit]

Dorland is known for his interest in the merging of computer culture with the art of painting. His large scale, glitchy[3] paintings and digital works reflect the cross sections of art history, artificial intelligence, Internet culture, video games,[4] and machine vision.[5] His neon-hued dystopian[6] abstractions layer and compress digital detritus into glitch datascapes.[7][8] To do this, Dorland uses a combination of scanning and printing[9] along with the use of drones to develop layered, chaotic paintings that reference hyperreality, digital electronics and capitalism[10] in an aesthetic reminiscent of tech noir. In the April 2021 issue of Frieze Magazine writer Natasha Stagg’s essay Painting the End of The World[11] discusses Dorland’s work in relation to the Cyberpunk genre and the cinematic influence of films such as Johnny Mnemonic, RoboCop and Blade Runner, as well as the video game Cyberpunk 2077.

Grants and awards

[edit]

Dorland is recipient of a number of awards, including the Rema Hort Mann Grant,[12] the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant,[13] and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program. He is an alumnus of the Art & Law residency program.[14]

Exhibitions
