A haunting and visceral depiction rendered in fluid gouache and ink, Marlene Dumas's *Little Red Riding Hood* transforms the beloved fairy tale into an unsettling psychological study. The raw, expressive brushwork characteristic of Dumas captures a sense of vulnerability and ambiguity, blurring the line between innocence and danger. Her loose, gestural marks and bleeding ink evoke the emotional intensity underlying the story's darker themes of predation and childhood fear.
