TESS DUMON A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever
困于无从得知患有自闭症的哥哥癫痫的病因，苔丝·杜蒙从小就转向神话、隐喻和传说寻求答案。她试图通过这些故事探讨存在主义的问题，从人类的诞生到地震的发生等等。
在艺术深造的过程中，通过运用弟弟在心理治疗中采用的马疗法，手工制作的独特蓝色颜料和诗歌等元素，她开始不断创造属于自己的神话。杜蒙尝试将观众置于艺术创作的中心，将观看的行为本身转化为一种表演。
Having no clue about the origins of the illness of her brother with autism, Tess Dumon turned herself towards myths, symbols, and legends, at a very young age. They aim to answer all kinds of existential questions, from the birth of mankind to the existence of earthquakes. During her artistic studies, she created her own mythology, including horses from her brother’s horse therapy sessions, handmade unique blue paint, poems, etc. Dumon tries to place the viewer at the heart of her work, aiming to transform the act of seeing into the performance itself.

同时，杜蒙以细腻的情感和充沛的力量展现了孕育生命的感动，并通过对元素、动植物和人体形态的变形与融合，将“无形的线索”置入其作品之中，帮助我们去感受和思考人类与自然千丝万缕的联系。
The visually captivating monumental sculptures have always been a significant part of Dumon’s creation. The aluminum and stainless steel used in her sculptures reflects perfectly any incoming ray of light, giving her magnificent animals the appearance of ghosts floating in the air. The magic resulting from these lighting effects contrasts with the dramatic meaning of her work and the roughness of the material she sculpts by hand.
Through the transfiguration and integration among elements, flora and fauna, and the human body, the artist encourages us to reconsider the relationship that humans maintain with Nature while bringing to life the abundance of emotion and strength that comes from nurturing life.

苔丝·杜蒙在架上的表现力也同样出色，其寓言式的水粉作品仿佛能抓住观者不曾察觉的脆弱瞬间— 伴随着观看作品的步伐流露出短暂的欣喜、惊讶、伤感亦或孤独。这种内心的“悸动”源自艺术家非凡的洞察力和转换力，她用简洁而充满表现力的线条凭借一个身体的姿态、或是动物的凝视就能触发我们内心真实而隐蔽的情感。
Equally expressive on paper, Dumon’s allegorical gouache paintings seem to catch the viewers in their imperceptible moment of vulnerability — a sudden joy, surprise, sadness or loneliness arise as they walk in front of each work. This instant “clicking” with one’s heart stems from the artist’s concise yet eloquent lines as well as her uncanny ability to transform a body gesture or an animal gaze into a trigger for the honest yet constrained emotions in our deep consciousness.

苔丝·杜蒙从文学、诗歌和艺术史中汲取灵感，将不同元素微妙结合在她的作品中，引出了一个个充满爱和诗意的故事。例如，男孩与马的形象象征着在病痛与困境中那些欣喜美好的时刻。而艺术家有意拉长的手的比例，比喻此为天使的翅膀。Tess Dumon draws her inspiration from literature, poetry, and art history. The artist subtly combines these influences in her works while telling a deeply personal, loving, and poetic story. For instance, the figures of the boy and the horse symbolize moments of peace and grace in a life hardened by illness. The disproportionate size of the boy's hands is a metaphor for the wings of an angel.
