Cecily Brown: The Spell
Kat. CFA Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin
Daniel Kehlmann, the most internationally successful German writer in recent years with »Measuring the World« (2006), writes about Cecily Brown’s latest paintings in this elegant booklet: »To put it more soberly: Cecily Brown’s art shows how superficial and uninteresting the apparent opposition between object and abstraction is. Undoubtedly, constructivism is right about one thing: Out of a jumble of impressions, according to our own not exactly reliable rules, we ourselves assemble a fragile model. After all, we don’t simply observe our surroundings, we move through them, thus our external world is perpetually disintegrating, rearranging itself in ever-changing ways, and only the constant work of our consciousness maintains the appearance of consistency. Cecily Brown doesn’t defamiliarize the world, she paints it as it actually is, a play of color and shadows.«
