Chris Dorland (born 1978) is a Canadian/American Contemporary artist based in New York City. His paintings and video works combine hyper-representation and hyper-abstraction[1] by manipulating digital imagery, paint and software.[2]

Artwork

Dorland is known for large scale, glitchy [3] paintings and digital works that address Artificial intelligence , video games ,[4] and machine vision.[5] His neon hued dystopian[6] abstractions layer and compress digital detritus into glitch datascapes.[7][8] Dorland uses scanners, printers[9] and drones to develop layered and chaotic works that reference hyperreality, technology 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 (film), RoboCop and Blade Runner as well as the video game Cyberpunk 2077 on his work.

Grants and awards

He is the 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. Dorland is an alumnus of the Art & Law program residency.[14]

He has exhibited at galleries including Lyles & King,[18] Martos LA, Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Marc Selwyn Fine Art, Sikkema Jenkins, Marianne Boesky Gallery, Valentina Bonomo Gallery,[19][20] and Super Dakota,[21] Brussels. His work is included in numerous public and private collections, including the Bronx Museum, the Whitney Museum of Art and Neuberger Museum of Art. He has been featured and reviewed in several publications such as The New York Times,[22] frieze magazine,[11] Art Review,[23] Whitewall Magazine,[24] POSTmatter,[25] Frische,[26] and The WILD Magazine.[27]
