Kim DorlandThe moment before the moment after
Equinox Gallery is pleased to present The moment before the moment after, an exhibition of new paintings by Kim Dorland.
Dorland’s interest in pushing the limits of paint has developed into a dramatic visual language, enticing the viewer into an enigmatic world that transforms visceral experience into a language of paint. Over a career spanning two decades, he has gradually refined a personal palette and vocabulary of images derived primarily from observations of the natural world and the tensions that manifest themselves when nature comes into confrontation with the human experience.
If you would like to see a list of works, or schedule an appointment to view in person, please contact us at info@equinoxgallery.com or (604) 736-2405

Kim Dorland
It Goes On
Kim Dorland’s paintings are accumulative, both in the way the paint is added to the surface, sometimes in thick impasto, other times delicately one layer atop another like a stamp placed on a letter, and in the psychological states they reveal and represent. Ultimately, the world created by Dorland in It Goes On is one where the natural world has begun to fight back, transforming forests and sunsets that were once sites of solace and contemplation into psychological states fraught with questions as to how we will find our way out of this mess.
