Marlene Dumas

South-African artist Marlene Dumas (*1953 in Cape Town) is one of contemporary art’s most prominent painters. Since the 1970s, she has produced a wide array of paintings, drawings, collages and objects. Beginning in the 1980s, she has been focussing mainly on figurative representations in oil on canvas as well as watercolour and ink on paper. Displaying a multiplicity of approaches, her works deal with the human figure and with existential themes.
