About the Artist
Sharon Duymel
Sharon Duymel (b.1971 Utrecht, The Netherlands) an Auckland-based artist, graduated with an MFA from Whitecliffe College of Arts, in 2022.
Duymel’s practice is concerned with exploring the problematic space of being unable to use her voice. Whilst reflecting the internalisation of her own identity, from a feminist perspective, Sharon attempts to translate the complexities of the interior mind by giving a psychological reading, through the physicality of the body. She often uses the female form to invoke her female perspective of lived experience.
Sharon seeks to carve out her own space to speak about female agency, in an effort to raise awareness of her experiences and challenges as a woman today.
Sharon Duymel's work has most recently been selected as finalist in Naked & Nude Art Prize 2023 at the Manning Regional Art Gallery, Manning, NSW, Australia. Just prior to that she was selected as a finalist in the Parkin Drawing Prize at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. She also was selected to form the Molly Morpeth Canaday Award Painting and Drawing 2023 Finalists' Exhibition earlier in the year.
Public collections include the Parliamentary Collection, Wellington, and The New Zealand Portrait Gallery, Wellington.
