NSE #12 | Cecily Brown with Jason Rosenfeld

Cecily Brown joins host Jason Rosenfeld in today’s conversation, discussing the deep sensuality, messy aliveness, and art historical references colliding in her paintings. In response to the imminent crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Brooklyn Rail shifted our operations online. These Daily Social Environments provide a place to have vibrant conversations and social intimacy in a time of great physical distancing.
From Jason’s 2017 interview with Cecily, “I like my space to be very aggressive, I think, that I play a lot with something-just as you think something is a long way away, it comes right up in your face again. So, I think about space a lot, but I like really messing with space. I mean I think I started that really early, realizing, like, changing scale really did weird things for the space. Like I’d often have one great big figure, and then smaller figures, a bit like Victorian Fairy Paintings. They weren’t fairies, though. I like the illogical thing of just sort of fucking with space all the time. But it does get me in a mess sometimes. Like you just get too bogged down. But I like space.”
