Taken from collections of JPEGs sourced online, compressed cell phone photos, home interior magazines, and scenes from movies, Jonathan Chapline’s images are collaged via a 3d modeling program to create an alternate world. This world merges real and imagined spaces, creating both a digital simulation and a documentation of space. Chapline highlights familiar, yet unlikely objects, such as a disposable cup, a household plant, or an ashtray. The objects are simplified into hard edge shapes referencing vector lines and Photoshop polygon tools on the surface of the panel. For example, gradients of raindrops painted on top of the surface in “Emulated Landscape” create the notion of a windowpane without having to describe one. This vocabulary plays into the idea of using simple marks to create larger overarching ideas.
Chapline’s first solo show with The Hole was Material Memory in November of 2018. His most recent was 2022's Sprawl at the gallery's Los Angeles location. He has participated in numerous group shows and art fairs with The Hole, as well as exhibited across the United States and internationally. Recent exhibitions include a solo show, Metropolis at Nanzuka Underground in Tokyo, Japan, and group shows Storage Wars and New Construction at the Hole Los Angeles. Recent art fairs include the Armory Show with The Hole and Art Basel Hong Kong and Miami with Nanzuka Underground.
