Cecily Brown

This volume accompanies Cecily Brown’s first solo exhibition in Paris at Gagosian, rue de Ponthieu, showcasing her latest paintings that explore the genres of figure study and nude ensemble. Brown’s canvases blur the boundaries between subject and background through dynamic compositions and vivid, contrasting colors. Drawing on Impressionism and nineteenth-century genre painting, her work reinterprets the interplay of representation and abstraction, featuring nudes that vary from abstracted body fragments to distinct groups of figures, demonstrating a sophisticated dialogue between art historical traditions and contemporary expression.
