Cecily Brown is a contemporary British painter. Exploring sexual imagery and an Abstract Expressionist gestural style, Brown’s work has emerged as some of the most influential of her generation. The artistic approach to abstract painting questions and satirizes the masculinity that has been historically linked to abstract expressionism. Her work has combined a variety of references and visual tropes including caricature and classical imagery, which she paints with an evident eroticism that visually links contemporary pornography with Old Master painting.
