Cecily Brown's First Ever Solo Exhibition in the Netherlands at GEM Museum of Contemporary Art

Cecily Brown's First Ever Solo Exhibition in the Netherlands at GEM Museum of Contemporary Art: "THE HAGUE.- The new work of New York-based artist Cecily Brown (b.1969) features a medley of grey, red, orange and earth colours applied with vigorous gestures to canvases of many different sizes. Initially, the explicitly sexual content of her pictures attracted attention; more recently, she has increasingly reduced the image to its essentials. Shifting between figuration and abstraction, she uses each approach to reinforce the other, viewing them not as two separate worlds, but as closely interrelated facets of the art of painting. Although this winter’s show at the GEM museum of contemporary art is Cecily Brown’s first ever solo exhibition in the Netherlands, in America she has for years been regarded as a leading artist of our day. Her work features in top collections like those of the Guggenheim"
