Chris Dorland (born 1978) is an American visual artist based in New York City. His work combines hyper-representation and hyper-abstraction[1] by manipulating digital printed imagery.[2]

Early life and education

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

Artwork

Dorland is known for large scale, acid hued, abstract paintings of distressed and dystopian architecture,[3] He includes images of "pop ephemera" and discarded modern material in his collage paintings.[4][5] Dorland uses techniques of painting and collage to develop series of interconnected yet distinct works that, seen together, portray the contemporary experience of globalization, technology and Capitalism. In this way, his work juxtaposes the hyper-representation and hyper-abstraction[6] evident in consumer Capitalism.

Grants and awards

He is the recipient of a numbrer of awards, including the Rema Hort Mann Grant,[7] the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant,[8] and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program. Dorland is an alumnus of the Art & Law program residency.[9]
