He is credited with reinvigorating the Canadian landscape genre by depicting scenes with enigmatic figures with a visceral, raw intensity. His evocative and distinctive style plays a central role in his otherworldly exploration of childhood, memory, and nostalgia, placing the viewer in a realm that hovers between \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edream and reality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDorland's work is instantly recognizable for his electric palette of neon hues, executed with rich impasto brushstrokes that are simultaneously frenetic and meticulously calculated.

The forest floor is illuminated by an intense neon orange underpainting that infuses the scene with a supernatural glow.
