I talked about Dolan Geiman last January, but just in case you missed that post I have to sing his praises again! He just announced his new website so I thought you’d love to check it out as it’s almost as perfect as his gorgeous artwork. He also has a lovely blog that I just found today that is super inspiring. For those of you not familiar with his work, he is an American contemporary artist (with a fun southern twist) originally from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia now based in Chicago.
Dolan works in silkscreen, painting, drawing, collage, and 3-D construction. Dolan is inspired by, “found objects, rural iconography, vernacular architecture and culture, as well as nature’s flora and fauna”, evident in all of his work that I think is just spectacular. My goal is to someday own a Geiman original as I’m sure many of you would also love to own something from him. Congrats on your new website, Dolan. It rocks!
Psst: I just LOVE this display idea – white nails – brilliant!

Oh, I’m so glad you featured Dolan Geiman! I’ve had my eye on his “Field Guide (Tennessee)” for a while now – I found him through Trunkt. His work is just beautiful!

This guy is from my hometown! Crazy that you’ve featured him on your page. His mom is a big artist around town as well. Guess the talent runs in the family!

Thank you for introducing me to such an inspiring artist. I’ve just been over to the website and have to say I’m hooked. Oh, and have also been lusting after the ?Field Guide (Tennessee)? box print ever since.

I love everything he does! I had the opportunity to meet Dolan this weekend at a Fine Arts Fair and found him to be very personable. A nice guy and beautiful art – what a package!

This site is fab! Every since I actually moved to the south, I love seeing southern inspirations.
