Early life and education
Dufresne is originally from Connecticut but was raised in Olathe, Kansas. She is the first to have received a college degree in her lineage.[1][4] Dufresne received a BFA in 1991 from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, in 1998.[5]
She has shown work internationally in exhibitions including Greater New York 2005 at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York City, the 2005 ARCO Art Fair for Galeria Marta Cervera in Madrid, Miracle on Franklin Street at GV/AS in Brooklyn, The Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London, and a solo exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, CA.[5] is represented by Monya Rowe Gallery in New York, and CRG Gallery, also in New York.
Works
As a contemporary lesbian painter, Angela Dufresne references other artists and films in her paintings to show connections to history and history of cultural production, as well as her personal experiences and associations.[6]
Dufresne imagines a post-human body in her paintings and drawings that comprise mythical creatures and eroticism. She sees painting as a co-creative process, prompting her subjects to interact with the painting process through dictation of the backdrop and deciding when the work is finished.[7]
