Virginia-based artist Jonathan Doner's abstracted digital visions glisten with ethereal light. There is a pensive, grand logic weaving through each work, making this seemingly distorted view of something unidentifiable infinitely more important than the object itself. Dissecting his digital prints into innumerable units of smaller objects, Doner portrays his enigmatic world as a network of mosaics. Bright hues, dreamy forms and magnificently complex colors take on an otherworldly tint, dappled by masterly distributed light. Each small constituent part appears oddly blank, but taken as an element in the larger work, a hive of activity begins to play out between components.
Some of Doner’s works evoke familiar icons of the image world – shapes and objects taken from popular culture and art history – while others are surprisingly involved, layered arrangements of bright coloration, varied lighting effects and nebulous, floating shapes. In each of his pieces, Doner highlights the singular beauty of individual parts, simultaneously revealing the greater beauty of the whole.
