{"id":423906976,"count":25,"description":"Cecily Brown, born in 1969, is a British painter known for her large-scale, gestural paintings that blur the lines between figuration and abstraction. Born in London, Brown moved to New York in the 1990s, where she quickly rose to prominence within the art world. Her vibrant canvases, characterized by their fluid brushwork and sensual subject matter, are often compared to the works of Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston. Brown's ability to merge the classical with the contemporary, and her intertwining of the erotic and the grotesque, has cemented her place among the leading painters of her generation. Her works are held in significant public and private collections globally.","link":"https:\/\/observer.com\/person\/cecily-brown\/","name":"Cecily Brown (25)","slug":"cecily-brown","taxonomy":"nyo_person","meta":[],"acf":{"industry_roles":[],"alternative_og_image":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/observer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/423906976"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/observer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/observer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/nyo_person"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/observer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?person=423906976"},{"href":"https:\/\/observer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listicle?person=423906976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
