Originally created in reaction to the idea that "painting is dead", Dorland has positioned the show as a celebration of painterly expression. Using Instagram as a curatorial tool, Dorland will exhibit work that showcases the talented ways in which some artists are exploiting paint's possibilities - materially, thematically and stylistically.

"This isn’t proof of what’s “on trend” right now. You’re not going to get a dense or complicated thesis. This is a show about using paint... I’m not a curator. I’m not a taste maker or a gallery professional. I’m a painter. And I ❤️ paint. I love looking at paintings. I love thinking about paintings. I love the act of squeezing a brand new tube of paint. Painting is romantic. Painting is sexy. Painting is infuriating, but I can’t give it up."

-Kim Dorland
