Looking at Marlene Dumas' Rejects

This is a demonstration video made at school to support a project for year 8 art students who were just entering their first lockdown. It references a body of work by Marlene Dumas called "Rejects". These paintings started life as portraits that weren't included in other bodies of work. They weren't made available for sale, but neither were they destroyed. In this state of limbo they presented an opportunity - as raw material - to become something more... A wall of these portraits was presented as the first encounter at the Tate's Dumas exhibition. I stood looking at them - trying to work out why I was so struck by their eerie, inhabited presence. I hope this video explains why. Anticipating a lack of art materials in lockdown, these paintings were made with coffee from portraits found in magazines.
