Chris Dorland’s incredible solo exhibition “New Day” is now on view at the gallery! The exhibition title references the inherent contradictions in technology’s relentless optimism and fetishism for progress. While appearing optimistic, “New Day” also leaves open the possibility for what is unknown. Thank you to everyone who came out to the opening yesterday! #lylesandking #chrisdorland #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #painting #video #digitalart
