CECILY BROWN (B. 1969)

“You've got the same old materials—just oils and a canvas—and you're trying to do something that's been done for centuries…I have always wanted to make paintings that are impossible to walk past, paintings that grab and hold your attention. The more you look at them, the more satisfying they become for the viewer. The more time you give to the painting, the more you get back.” – Cecily Brown (C. Brown, “I take things too far when painting,” The Guardian, 20 September 2009).
