I am
excited to share this week's interview with the incredibly
successful and talented painter, Kim Dorland! I have been a fan of
Kim for a long time. His thick oil paintings depict the landscape
and the psyche of the individuals in them. In this episode, we talk
about Kim's background and overcoming hardships in Wainwright,
Alberta Canada, meeting the person that is now his wife, how he
started studying art, his studio practice, how his work has
shifted, and the importance of his family life. Kim is funny, sharp
and insightful.
Kim has
shown extensively nationally and internationally. He was born in
Wainwright, Alberta, Canada and received his BFA from Emily Carr
University of Art + Design and his MFA from York University. His
work is featured in The Sander Collection (Berlin); Nerman Museum
of Contemporary Art (KS); Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Montreal
Museum of Contemporary Art, Blanton Museum of Art (TX); Glenbow
Museum (Calgary); Art Gallery of Alberta; Museum of Contemporary
Art San Diego, and numerous private collections. Dorland was
recently the focus of a solo exhibition at the MCA Denver. Kim
lives and works in Vancouver.
