Biography

Dolan Geiman is best known as a contemporary collage artist specializing in the reuse of found materials and objects including vintage paper, reclaimed wood and salvaged metal. These diverse collage materials are carefully curated, cut and combined with other artistic techniques including painting, screenprinting and sculpture to create the final modern artworks. Geiman’s original mixed media art collages are highly textured and intricately detailed, inspired by the flora and fauna of the natural world, the rich history of the US and the influence of classic collage artists that came before. Based in Denver, Colorado, Dolan Geiman creates his modern mixed media artwork from a folk art tradition infused with a contemporary western style. Working as a full-time artist since 2001 with his wife and business partner Ali Marie, Geiman has achieved nationwide recognition through art fairs, art gallery representation and commission artwork for private and corporate clients. Past clients include Anthropologie, Dickies, New Balance, Pendleton, YouTube and over 100 public collections across the country.
