About The Artwork
Taking the tile from a fragment of writing from a Marlene Dumas lecture (1990), The Muse is Exhausted series are paintings of hybrids of infamous muses and mythical creatures. These ambiguous portraits with their empty eyes and translucent, cellular bodies, are a reflection of ourselves in the form of carnivalesque demons, animals and goddesses. Exploring the relationship of the gaze and the gaze turned in on itself and to the primordial goddesses of myth and imagination. In a world preoccupied with the communication of self and image and a culture of looking and being seen, these portraits pose existentialist questions of who and what we are. This painting is colourful and playful (disguising the dark undertones) which looks at women in comparative myth, colourfield painting and transformation of form. I work with charcoal, pastel, acrylic and spray-paint which combines the fluidity of paint with the drawn line using pastels and charcoal.
