The Mediator
Marlene Dumas (mentioned on object), 2006
The Mediator is part of a series called Man Kind. Other paintings bear titles such as The Neighbour or The Pilgrim. They are portraits of men based on photographs from the media. But because their names are missing, we become confused as to who they are. Are we looking at a movie star, a terrorist or is it just the neighbour from around the corner? ‘...how would you know friend from foe?,’ Dumas herself wrote.
