At her best Cecily Brown breaches a hole in her abstract nature and manages to sneak through it lust and passion. It’s mighty hard to portray powerful lust and passion in abstract painting. Of course, abstract expressionist was always about these feelings and always tried to portray them with the most vigor. However, when the painter is in passion, much is often lost in his mumble. Brown, through suggestive figuratism, has managed to overcome this and the result is a lustful and touching creation.
