(French, b. 1987 in Paris. Lives and works in Thomery, France)
As an artist whose work is informed by a deep preoccupation about planet earth and our relationship to it, Dumas uses the physical properties of her materials and the dynamics of their interaction, to create poignant metaphors for humanity’s struggle to control the effects of environmental degradation.
Dumas completed her BA at Villa Arson in Nice France and her MFA at School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in 2013. Dumas has been awarded artist residencies at Festival Grandeur Nature, Ristolas, France in 2009 and La Station, Nice in 2015. She was nominated in 2013 for the Clare Rosen & Samuel Edes Foundation Prize for Emerging Artists by the Painting and Drawing Department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Dumas' work was featured in notable group and solo exhibitions including “Winter Studies” (2015), Kunstverein Gaestezimmer E.V, Stuttgart, Germany (Curated by Alf Setzer); “Ad Hoc”(2015), La Station, Nice, France (curated by Collectif Culbuto).
Dumas first solo exhibition, SAFE HARBOR took place in 2016 at Silas von Morisse in New York, followed by her critically acclaimed ANGELS in 2018 that presented her lifesize whale fluke paintings. In 2021, the artist presented DELPHIS TALE in a solo exhibiiton in France (see Silas von Morisse Viewing Room). Her next solo exhibition is scheduled for 2022 in France.
