Provenance Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin Exhibited Modern Art Oxford, Cecily Brown Paintings, 28 June – 28 August, 2005 Literature R. Lopez ed., Revisions – A Journal of Christian Perspective – Sex is Good, Vol. III, Issue 1, Fall 2006 (illustrated) Catalogue Essay Her pictures are comparable to Monet’s in only one way, but it’s a good way: the paint in them seems to be moving. They won’t settle down. And your job as a spectator is to keep up with them. You’ll never quite get there, but that’s part of the fun… Desire is easier to paint because it’s automatic. We are programmed to feel it. Sex is hard because it takes a particular type of artistic skill to get inside someone else’s thoughts and evoke what they are feeling: to touch their touch and make their rhythm your rhythm. That’s what Brown can do. That’s her skill. She paints sex, but she isn’t dirty. She paints pleasure, but it’s from within. So it’s also love, and poetry, and a headful of thoughts. W. Januszczak, ‘She’s laying it on thick. Could Cecily Brown be the best British artist painting today?’ in Times Online, 16 April, 2006 Read More
