Marlene Dumas (born 1953) confronts themes of politics, identity, love, and shame in her haunting oil and watercolor paintings. She’s often inspired by her experiences growing up in apartheid-era South Africa. Dumas has based compositions on photographs of friends and family, mass-media imagery of current events and celebrities, and art historical references. Her ghostly palette comprises mostly grays, browns, blues, and pinks, and her style features blurred brushstrokes and thin washes of color. less
