Chris Dorosz is a Canadian-American visual artist and author who teaches at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California, United States.[2][3][4]

Dorosz is known for portraying transitions from one dimension to another through the merging of different artistic media.[5] His artworks present an alchemy in which clay becomes paint, paint becomes sculpture, and sculpture becomes photography.[6][7][8] Early works dealt with traces of daily life in memories, frozen moments, and dark matter.[9] After 2012, his artistic themes shifted to views of the paranormal in public spaces.[10]

Work

Early in his career, Dorosz concentrated on representing matter captured in physical boundaries, as seen in his mosaic staple paintings.[11] He began treating paint as independent matter in three-dimensional models, placing pieces of paint on clear plastic rods or hanging them from transparent filament lines.[8] Later, Dorosz began to represent environments with extra-sensory dimensions like memories, ghosts, or dark matter, reconstructing video and media images in three-dimensional models to produce what the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art termed “apparitions of a human presence.”[8]

Dorosz has stated that he connects his deconstruction of two-dimensional paintings with the depiction of atomized realities in physical bodies or virtual space. Appearing to break down reality makes the forms reappear in other contexts or dimensions.[11] Canadian Art has described his work as using paint to explore "physical reality in an age that finds itself striving towards...digital abstraction."[12] Hi-Fructose quoted Dorosz on his process: “I began to regard the primacy of the paint drop, a form that takes shape not from a brush or any human-made implement or gesture, but purely from its own viscosity and the air it falls through, as analogous to the building blocks that make up the human body (DNA) or even its mimetic representation (the pixel).”[13]

In 2016, Dorosz’s work was featured in The Atlantic in a Qualcomm-sponsored series "Could: Painting What's Possible" which called out his use of paint to create physical markers around "interstitial space", stating that he "tries to visualize and understand what we can’t see" combining "a traditional painter’s approach with a multi-dimensional sensibility."[14]

Personal life

Chris Dorosz was born in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1972. He graduated from Canterbury High School in 1991. He attended Concordia University in Montreal (BFA 1994) and NSCAD University (MFA 1997).[15][2][16]

Dorosz's family is related to poet William Butler Yeats by way of Yeats's mother, Susan Pollexfen Yeats.[17]
