I Will Not Paint Any More Boring Leaves (2), 2004 Oil on linen, 80 x 84 inches (203.2 x 213.4 cm) Cecily Brown Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent paintings by Cecily Brown. The exploration of form and the tension between figuration and abstraction are central to Brown's work. The artist revisits old master imagery, as well as scenes lifted from popular culture in order to create her own vision where human form and brushwork amalgamate, transcending notions of classical genre and narrative. Subject matter is liberated from its original context and positioned within a new reality. Cecily Brown's work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and group shows. Personal exhibitions include those at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., 2002, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma, Rome, 2003, and the Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid, 2004. She also participated in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. In June 2005 Cecily Brown's paintings will be the subject of a solo exhibition at Modern Art Oxford, England. Exhibition: January 22 - February 26, 2005 Gallery hours: Tue-Sat 10 am - 6 pm Gagosian Gallery 555 West 24th Street USA-New York NY 10011 Telephone +1 212 741 11 11 Fax +1 212 741 96 11 Email info@gagosian.com www.gagosian.com |
