Desirée Dolron

Desirée Dolron’s photography transports the viewer into her personal dream world. Still lifes, portraiture, and architectural photography combine to formulate series that are fluid and mysterious. Her painterly images, often digitally finished to amplify their otherworldly nature, are labor-intensive and influenced by classical portraiture. The acclaimed “Xteriors” series places the viewer within her pensive, nightmarish mental space. Reminiscent of Flemish Masters and muddled by the open-ended mystery, this series is suspended between being and non-being. Dolron captures a moment in time that requires the audience to digest their quixotic internal narrative beyond their eerie immediacy.

Dolron has exhibited at institutions including Instituu Neérlandais, Paris, Fototeca de Cuba, Havana, Fotomuseum Den Haag, the Netherlands, Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, Musée d’art contemporain de Marseille, France, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid, Gana Art Center, Seoul, The Hague Museum of Photography, Den Haag, and the Stedelijk Museum, Sittard, among many others. She participated in the Bienal de la Habana in 2006, and the Singapore Biennale in 2008.
