Cecily Brown - Based on a true story, 2010
The new work of New York-based artist Cecily Brown (b.1969) features a medley of grey, red, orange and earth colours applied with vigorous gestures to canvases of many different sizes.
Her work reminds me of the abstract impressionisme of De Kooning. If you look closely you see the sillhouet of a human body. Browns inspiration comes from the old painters, from Rubens untill Bacon. Although this winter’s show at the GEM museum of contemporary art is Cecily Brown’s first ever solo exhibition in the Netherlands, in America she has for years been regarded as a leading artist of our day.
