Josh Dorman, ‘Four Fleurs’, acrylic (2008)

Josh Dorman about his work:

“I collect outdated (pre-photography) textbooks, topographic maps, manuals, and documents. Paper that has lived a life and shows its age compels me to paint. I am intrigued by systems I do not understand and by information that is no longer relevant.”

Time Out New York about Josh Dorman:

“Layering snippets of engraved illustrations redolent of Victorian encyclopedias over yellowing vintage maps, before adding painterly touches in ink and acrylic, Dorman conjures an imaginatively reordered universe teeming with organic and artificial life. Often transforming his topographical grounds into sweeping rural landscapes, he sprinkles each scene with incongruous groupings of flora and fauna, machinery and architecture, achieving a semi-improvised orchestration of multiple diverse parts into something like a symphonic whole.”

Valerie Goodwin skapar täcken som “förmedlar en platskänsla genom att använda satellitperspektiv och kartor som inspiration.” Hon arbetar både med realistiska och abstrakta bildspråk.

Omnisdata har skapat ett GIS moln där man kan se, bearbeta och analysera geografisk data online. Fortfarande en beta men mycket intressant. Framtiden ligger i molnet!
