Born in South Africa in 1953, Marlene Dumas moved to the Netherlands in 1976 and has become one of the most prominent painters of her generation.
This large-scale survey will be the most significant exhibition of her work ever to be held in Europe, charting her career from early works, through seminal paintings to newly finished canvases.

The arresting and potent imagery of Dumas’s painting stresses both the physical reality of the human body and its psychological value. Her subjects tend towards the extreme fringes of life’s cycle, and reflect contemporary anxieties about life and death, gender and sexuality, and the influence of mass media and celebrity.
