Cecily Brown: Picture Making - Serpentine Galleries
Cecily Brown presents dynamic paintings inspired by Kensington Gardens, exploring nature, color, and movement. The British artist, known for her expressive and sensual approach to painting, creates works where forms dissolve into swirling vortexes of vibrant colors. The exhibited paintings transform the London park landscape into energetic abstract compositions where vegetation, water, and light blend in a pictorial choreography. Brown uses gestural brushstrokes and layered paint applications to create rich and complex surfaces that evoke both traditional painting and modernity. The exhibition shows how the artist dialogues with the history of painting while developing a contemporary visual language. *Picture Making* is a celebration of painting as a living and transformative medium, where nature becomes the pretext for an exuberant formal and chromatic exploration.
