Juliette Dumas

Juliette Dumas is an artist whose work is informed by a deep preoccupation about planet earth and our relationship to it. She is foremost a painter by formation hence her fascination with Cezanne. An important factor in her premise is that she subscribes to the “Rio Negro Manifesto” created in Brazil in 1978 by French art critic Pierre Restany while he travelled the Amazon river. The manifesto he wrote, with two other Brazilian artists, is all about “Art for Nature” and about raising Consciousness about Earth and the Natural World Through Art. In short, Dumas’s paintings are a study of the language of Nature, she is about raising consciousness. That is what drives her.
