12/97: Erotic art is only one of
Christine Dumbsky's genres of painting. Perhaps this distinction is
a false one, betraying more about our -- still -- prudish culture, which
labels all art in which nakedness appears as 'erotic', than about Christine's
motives. You will search in vain for portrayals of crude sex acts in
her art work. Indeed, the 29-year-old ascribes eroticism a subordinate
role in her painting. Visitors of our special exhibition will no doubt
also get the impression that 'the female' and not ' male erotic' forms
the leitmotif of her painting. The women in her paintings are complex
and contradictory: self-confident yet shy, anxious yet vivacious, self-sacrificing
yet dominating, and passionate though detached. It is a rebuff to the
cliché: Women are neither whores nor saints, neither heroes nor homebodies. |

Penthouse 1/98:
"The Internet as a gallery"
Who thinks canvas, brush and colours are computer's enemy or at least an antiquated
ancestor, has judged precipitate, because the artist Christine Dumbsky proves,
that the old and the new media goes together quite well.
Neue Revue 4/98
"Erotic
via Mouse click"
Exceptional - and in this case probably unique, because many of these paintings
show the artist herself.
