Marlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own Grave

The artist discusses the exhibition and her work.

I love her work. ITs dark but not depressing. Beautiful and simple. And at the same time with a shot of creativity. I was moved by her and her work.

I saw her exhibition at MOCA and was really confronted by the power and at the same time simplicity of the figures. I like how there's a video of the artist talking about her own work. It's quite nice!
