description: Dumas cultivated a unique position within the world of figurative painting beginning withexpressive drawings of human figures -powerful figurative works that explore themes ofgender, identity, sexual and ethnic violence, and oppression. In the paintings there is alwaysclear interplay between image and her models give the impression of observing,rather than being observed. Suspect, the title of this exhibition and catalog, is just aswonderfully ambiguous; the show undermines preconceived notions about victims andexecutioners while adding to the pool of doubt the idea that these images themselvesmight be "suspect ".The catalog features Dumas ' recent works as well as a series created specifically for herexhibition. The book includes a long interview with the artist and a collection of her writings.
