Cecily Brown
English-born Cecily Brown’s paintings are characterized by a strong notion of sex, movement, energy and aggression. Her work reveals itself as a kind of hallucination of a series of passionate encounters where lust, tension, penetration and orgasm converge through violent brushwork, multiple viewpoints, and explosions of color. Her paintings navigate through a very subtle line between abstraction and figuration, submerging viewers in her carefully crafted and conceived worlds.
It’s worth mentioning that it is very difficult to talk or write about Brown’s work without the use of adjectives and verbs of action, that revert to the male-dominated Abstract Expressionism. When questioned about this, she responded: “It used to be said that men painted with their dicks. I’m kind of in that tradition, except I don’t know whose I’m painting with.”
