Rowynn Dumont
Artist-Philosopher
Rowynn Dumont is a New York artist, curator, and writer. With a passion for exploring the boundaries of artistic expression, her multidisciplinary practice encompasses various mediums, including visual art, curation, and the written word.
Drawing inspiration from her extensive studies in taboo religions, sexuality in art, alchemy, and Central European decadence, Rowynn's work delves into mysticism and introspection. Through her art, she aims to evoke profound emotional responses and challenge societal norms by examining the complexities of human existence.
Collaborations and contributions to the art community have marked Rowynn's artistic journey. As a co-founder of Black Rainbow, an all-inclusive post-punk, electro-new wave party, she merges her passion for music, art, and community building, creating immersive experiences that celebrate artistic expression and foster a sense of belonging.
Additionally, Rowynn has curated exhibitions and contributed to esteemed platforms such as SuperRare and COOPH Magazine. Her dedication to showcasing meaningful artistic narratives has allowed her to explore the intersection of art and cultural representation, offering a platform for underrepresented voices within the art world.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including notable showcases such as Nimbus at Vespertine in Shanghai and The Fowler Museum in Los Angeles. Through her thought-provoking pieces, Rowynn invites viewers to embark on introspective journeys, challenging preconceived notions and prompting critical reflection.
Rowynn has an upcoming solo exhibition at 86 Orchard Gallery in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in October 2023. This highly anticipated exhibition will provide an intimate and immersive experience, showcasing her latest work and offering viewers a glimpse into her artistic vision.
Furthermore, Rowynn will participate in a group exhibition at DOX Contemporary Art Center Prague in February 2024, where she will contribute to a showcase dedicated to exploring the themes and influence of Kafka. This exhibition will serve as a platform for engaging with the legacy of Kafka's work through a contemporary lens for his 100th anniversary.
By weaving together her diverse experiences, Rowynn Dumont's art serves as a conduit for exploring the depths of human emotion, spirituality, and the ever-evolving nature of artistic expression. Through her ongoing creative exploration, collaborations, and upcoming exhibitions, she aims to inspire others to question, connect, and embrace the transformative power of art.
