Cecily Brown




Saw this at MFA today after class. Her paintings are now one of my favorities. Colors are vivid, the forms ambiguous. It requires both examination upclose and far away. Even when you think you know what you're looking at, you don't. There's constant movement on this static canvas.

The one above is probably my favorite of all in the exhibit today. Although her work often falls into the category of erotica, this painting resonates strongly with my ideals of being in love. It's passionate and innocent. I enjoy how the lovers are distinct and melded together simultaneously.
