Marlene Dumas is a South African artist.

Dumas paints her subjects at extreme points in life’s cycle, emphasizing on classical modes of representation in western art.

Dumas uses the human figure as a means to critique contemporary ideas of racial, sexual and social identity.

I feel this could be applied to fashion by creating androgyny silhouettes.
