MARLENE DUMAS: FORSAKEN 14 October - 26 November 2011 Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Marlene Dumas. The subjects of these works range from The Crucifixion to images of famous as well as infamous contemporary figures. Forsaken is Dumas' first solo presentation in the UK since 2004. This is an exhibition that takes the words of Christ on the cross as its starting point. The moment of feeling utterly and absolutely alone, when he cries out - "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" It is not an exhibition only about the dilemmas of Christianity, but also about the loss of love and beliefs that we have forsaken. It is about tragic lives and falls from grace. It is about portraits betraying states of mind. About people becoming ghosts of themselves. Marlene Dumas --- Marlene Dumas was born in Capetown, South Africa in 1953. Recent solo exhibitions include Against The Wall, Fundaçao Serralves, Porto, 2010, Measuring your Own Grave, a touring exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art, LA; MoMA, New York; Menil Collection, Houston 2008/09 and Intimate Relations, a solo exhibition at Standard Bank Gallery, Johannesburg, RSA travelling from South Africa National Gallery, Cape Town. Dumas' work is included in the Collections of Tate, London; Musée national 'dart Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam amongst others.
