DESHAWN DUMAS
Ballistic Monochromes
The ballistic monochromes of DeShawn Dumas reveal invisible forms of power and domination while challenging the anti-representational history of 20th century monochromatic painting. These conceptual works use violent methods of repetitive dishonor: burning, tearing, shooting, and smashing laminated glass panels as metaphor for the afterlives of slavery, if not the crises of the 21st century.
As the artist states himself, “Western democracy has proven unable or unwilling to form an ethical, humane and inclusive society beyond the spectacle of screen culture and vapid consumerism. Dumas’ art like the spectacle itself works precisely at the level of subjectivity. The spectacle packages the consumption of violence in ways which divorce domination and suffering from ethical considerations, historical understanding and political contextualization. To the contrary, Dumas explains “my work concerns social death, particularly, all those who lack the economic power, social visibility, lethal and ideological force to defend against the nightmare that is Western civilization.”
