Marlene Dumas

I have found the work of Marlene Dumas really inspiring as she works 

with a similar theme and has perhaps dealt with the same 

problems of "sexing up" the female form. 

Her work made me consider that, although in the past, the over sexualised female 

form has rid women of power in art, perhaps now 

we are in a more equal position, we can celebrate female sexuality.
