Cecily Brown

I very much adore the blends of green and creamy textures in the centre that she paints within this piece, and they really make you centralize upon the essence of what she is trying to bring across within this piece.

Very much alive and bluntly seen when you look into this piece, you can see the image of a pair of beings caressing and fondling one another and you as the observer see this through the very tight and ridged branches and bushes of this “Hidden Garden”.

This disorientates your sight but makes you still get the essence of what is about to or going to happen between these two very sexualized and hormone filled people. So between the green shades of the trees and the light shades settling through the top of the piece you really get drawn into this feeling and emotion of this piece over all.

This piece is “Night Passage” which is painting with oil paints on a linen canvas. Brown’s pieces are very much colourful and blunt with their lumps of colours layering onto the canvas in her painterly style. Speaking upon that style, you very much see her originality within what she does and this makes her very much her own painter, and is a good thing to have within the work you do as an artist.

I can also see a lot of pastel looking colours within this piece and thus this comes through in that style of brown’s work. She very much keeps her work lightly coloured but it suits it a lot more than darker tones and shades of oil paint colours.

This piece named “The fugitive kind” settle s on the sheer tones of a humans flesh I feel. It draws you eye more towards the redder and more bloodier looking parts of the painting. Into this you see that really there is sensual feeling to this. A strong and yet more weird one that when two bodies join together they form this feeling that isn’t often seen when people get together and that there is something deeper than a “good time”.

Very much a abstraction piece, you get the feeling that Brown really expresses her feelings through her work and it is seen through quite a bit.

This piece named “High Society” is a take upon what the eyes of viewer might consider “rich men buying their way to a sexual experience”. In my eyes that is what I get from this. That this high upper class society really wants it all the time as they “deserve it” for all they have done for people and “how hard they work every day”. While they are in actual fact working at the same rate of everyday individuals I think they take things for granted and through this piece of them dressed up in the right side with their suits and top hats, they take something like sex for granted, and treat it like a buyable thing. I may be coming across strangely or even contradictory of my opinion, but sooner or later you might understand what I am trying to get across when I look into the heavily coloured piece that looks great… but very much so the provocative side to life.
