Artist Kim Dorland will present the next Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar lecture on Wednesday, April 10 at 5:30 pm. He pushes the boundaries of painted representation through an exploration of memory, material, nostalgia, identity and place.
The lecture will be via Zoom at https://unl.zoom.us/j/98942017687. The Zoom lecture is free and open to the public.
Dorland lives and works in Toronto. Drawing heavily from the Canadian landscape and his huge appetite for the history and language of painting, the loose yet identifiable scenes are interjected with areas of heavy abstract impasto. His refusal to remain faithful to one medium or approach plays into the
symbiotic nature of his work.
Dorland holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from York University in Toronto, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver.
He has exhibited globally, including shows in Milan, London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. His work is featured in the Contemporary Art Foundation (Japan), The Sander Collection (Berlin), Musée d’art contemporain de Montreal, Glenbow Museum (Calgary), Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Art Gallery of Alberta, the Audain Art Museum and numerous private collections.
