Josh Dorman is an artist who recontextualizes antique images within fantastical drawn and painted worlds. Dorman sources collages, engravings, and diagrams from textbooks, manuals, and documents that were published before the widespread use of photography. Dorman’s practice is rooted in a keen interest in poetry, sparking his 2007 visual Poems series. His early work made strong use of antique maps in its collaged compositions. “The worlds of form and image that I create have an internal logic, like a poem or novel. There are visual rhymes and dozens of narratives, but I do not prescribe a single reading. My aim is for the paintings to be simultaneously hyper-specific and completely open-ended.”
