So says one critic about the work of Cecily Brown,
the British-born abstract expressionist.
Her work is fleshy, corporeal, oily,
eruptive—lush.
She works in the meatpacking district of Manhattan.
"I've always wanted to have a lot of different ways of
saying something, maybe sometimes to the detriment
of the paintings,' Brown says, 'so that you might have a
veil of paint that suggests some very delicate skin,
but then I'll want something very meaty and clogged next to it."
An "informed smearing" she calls her work.
