Cecily Brown – Couple (2004)

Louisiana poster with the work, Couple, (2004), by the British painter, Cecily Brown (b. 1969). A summer day in the forest floor, a couple in a close embrace – everything exudes life, colour, sensuality and erotic power in this painting by Cecily Brown, who currently lives in New York. Louisiana presented Cecily Brown in 2018-2019 at a large exhibition, which received wide attention and was called "phenomenal" and "a scoop" by reviewers.

Cecily Brown is considered one of the figures who helped to pave the way for the resurgence of painting in recent times. Brown works with many current issues, among others the dissolution of traditional gender roles, the politicized everyday life and the restless, erotic energy of the times.

Cecily Brown builds tableaus with equal parts irony, heroism and means from pornography. Despite the light touch, she often draws inspiration for her world of motifs from human conflicts.
