Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Note:
Dorland’s works render the nostalgic spaces of the artist’s upbringing in Canada, often through a deft and distinct handling of sumptuous impasto layers and bold, broad, brush strokes. With a haunting and unexpected beauty, they seem to draw attention to their own physicality, as well as their personal nature. The artist’s unique vision and colour sensibility and the works’ elements of abstraction function collectively to engage the viewer and challenge his or her notions of what is expected of representation.
Dorland has exhibited globally, including shows in Milan, Montréal, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles and is featured in numerous private, corporate and public collections of note including those of the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego and Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. The artist lives and works in Toronto.
