El discurso desgarrado de Marlene Dumas

La obra de la artista sudafricana Marlene Dumas se presenta como un enigma sin solución. Rostros fantasmagóricos y cuerpos espectrales cuentan historias que apelan a lo complejo, en una especie de expresionismo tenebroso.

Lo monstruoso, lo asimétrico, lo alienado… son algunas de los conceptos con los que aprehender la estética de esta artista.

Los retratos son el principal lenguaje expresivo de Dumas. Figuras plasmadas desde la pornografía del sadismo. Personajes famosos como Kate Moss, Osama Bin Laden o Amy Winehouse, son algunos de los representados. Cuerpos que demuestran la violencia de un discurso desgarrado. Todos se mueven en una narración, que según la artista no tiene significado más allá de lo aparente.

Portraits are the main expressive language of Dumas. Figures expressed from the pornography of the sadism. Famous characters as Kate Moss, Osama Bin Laden or Amy Winehouse, are some of the represented characters. Bodies that demonstrate violence of a torn speech. All of them move in a narration what according to the artist it does not has a meaning beyond the apparent.{:}
