Cecily Brown

Cecily Brown's paintings combine figuration and abstraction. She draws her influences from painters such as Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston. She often titles her paintings after classic Hollywood films, such as The Pyjama Game and The bedtime Story. Sexuality and attraction are important themes in her work, which she explores through semi-figurative and abstract means.”
