SOLO l GROUP l PUBLICATIONS l COLLECTIONS l PRINT

Dumas recalls in her work the painterly gestures of Expressionism, whilst combining the critical distance of conceptual Art with the pleasures of eroticism. Through her delicately painted oil on canvas or ink and watercolour works on the female form as well as portraits of children and erotic scenes, she comments on the state of painting today.What does it mean to be a woman working within the predominantly male genre of expressionist painting? The artist often depicts woman: their expressions, their body and facial typologies, their self-image, their ideals. The relationships between art and female beauty- or between art historical models and twentieth-century supermodels are constant themes in her work. Dumas does not paint from life but deliberately chooses 'stock' images from a variety of sources, from magazine cuttings to picture postcards to Old Master paintings, as re observed through her contemporary perspective.

Since the late 1970s she has exhibited internationally with solo exhibitions at the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt (1998) and the Tate Gallery, London (1996). In 1995 she represented The Netherlands at the 46th Venice Biennale. A major touring exhibition of Dumas' work was held nat the museum van Hedendaagse Kunst, Antwerp in 1999. The solo exhibition "Suspect" was held at Palazetto Tito, Venice (IT) in 2003. Also in 2003, the Art Institute of Chicago (USA) was the venue for the "Time and Again" solo exhibition. For 2007-2009 large overviews of her work are scheduled in international museum accross Japan, the US and her mother land South Africa.
