​Each of Josh Dorman's works, like a dream, is at once a window and a mirror, opening onto a landscape of chimeras and strange juxtapositions, never before seen yet instantly recognizable, as familiar as the outlines of our own secret reflections."
-Michael Chabon

...as beautiful as they are, the paintings evoke a state of basic contradiction that has a way of getting under your skin.
—​Dan Piepenbring, The Paris Review

Dorman offers us what he can of his own charged reality, and in doing so reawakens us to ours; he offers us a shared visual field – a shared illogic – that maunders like the mind, that honours its own eccentric questings, its pointless cataloguings, its rampant, fecund combinings.... 

Dorman’s work is unapologetically imagistic, even as it strips its images of significance; it is full of beauty, even as it cuts, pastes, and bullies beautiful representations into absurd, obsolete, anachronistic relations.
—​Nam Le, Lost Divers catalog essay

No plan, no agenda, no constraint. If there is a formal method underlying Dorman's art, it would be this: You find it in the act of doing it, and each time you do it, you discover something you hadn't known before.
—​Paul Auster, CUE Catalog essay

Dorman constructs fantasy lands and visual puns with the wonky, romantic intensity of a daydreaming ten-year-old.
