BIOGRAPHY
Chris Dorland is the recipient of numerous awards including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant, the Canada Council for the Arts, The Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program among others. Selected exhibitions include The New Museum, the Neuberger Museum, The Queens Museum of Art and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Santiago. His works are held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of Art and The Bronx Museum in New York City. He is currently represented by Super Dakota, Brussels, BE.
 
Dorland is known for large scale, acid hued, abstract paintings of dystopian corporate spaces as well as sardonic advertising paintings.  He has developed a series of interconnected bodies of work that, seen together, build a layered visual language that speaks to the contemporary experience of globalization, technology and Capitalism. His work visualizes the blurring of hyper-representation and hyper-abstraction that is an effect of consumer Capitalism.
